Bengaluru, Jul 17: The Karnataka State Board of AUQAF has ordered that management committees at Muslim Khabarastans, shall not refuse burial to Muslims died due to COVID-19.
"...in exercise the powers conferred under Waqf Act 1995, it is hereby ordered that management Committees/Muthawallies/Administrators responsible for the management of Muslim Khabarastans in the state of Karnataka irrespective of registered or unregistered in the Waqf, shall not refuse the burial of Muslims died due to COVID-19 pandemic," read an order from the Karnataka State Board of AUQAF on Thursday.
"They shall co-operate with all the Nodal Officers designated for this purpose regarding the decent burial. Non co-operation or refusal on the part of the management will be construed as an insult committed to the deceased. Any violation of the above order will attract the punitive provision of Indian Penal Code and removal from the management as per the provisions of the Waqf Act 1995," the order read.
It further said that the Waqf Officers, District Wakf Advisory Committees of the state, shall ensure the adherence of this order, and circulate the same to all the Khabarastan managements, registered or unregistered in the state.
"No further deliberation in this regard is solicited except compliance of the order in letter and spirit. Any dereliction in this regard will be viewed seriously," it read.
Giving a background on the issue of burial of COVID-19 deceased, the order read, "It is observed that, number of deaths are being occurred in various Districts of Karnataka, due to COVID-19 pandemic and it is reported that, some of the management committees of Khabarastan, are not cooperating to bury the dead bodies of COVID-19."
"A decent burial is a right of the dead person" as per the law of the land and the Islamic jurisprudence. It is needless to emphasize the importance of burial of Muslim dead bodies in Shariah. The dead body of a Muslim is treated with the utmost respect by the Ummah, joining in the funeral (Tadfeen), participating in the Namaz-e-Janaza and the burial are considered as Farz-e-Kifaya in Muslim law. According to the tradition of Islam, the person who participates in the funeral is entitled to Mountain sized reward (Sawaab)," the order read.
As per the order, the board, in its earlier circular had also cautioned the management of Waqf institutions and Khabarastan which were reluctant to allow the decent burial in the Khabarastan would be punished under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and the punitive provisions of the Waqf Act 1995 as well.
"The District Magistrates and the Superintendent of Police in the districts have been requested to prosecute the erring management committees who are responsible for non co-operation in this regard. Hence, the following order," it added.

I dont understand what factor restricting them.
Police, parents, media and NIA were mentally tortured her much.. Atleast if they have little humanity in their heart, let them live together. She is grown up and she can think and decide
When FAITH enters HEART No one can separate it... Worshiping ALLAH alone brings contentment in LIFE of this world which, many are missing due to their worship to FALSE GOD... ALLAH is most forgiving and most merciful ... it is a blessing for the one who wants to know and understand the CREATOR of all that exists who put soul in our body....to undestand NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI...There is no image of God... WE should look what the CREATOR preserved for his CREATION.... When we try to know the CREATOR, The CREATOR will Guide us to TRUTH. When YOU KNOW the TRUTH... WE Will understand the World which is deceiving us daily now without have shame on those who deceive people.
READ the book of the CREATOR who is Na TASYa PRATImA asti...the quran project online will introduce you to our CREATOR . TRY TO know your creator before some one deceive us with their FALSE agendas on our SOCIETY.
Only those who are rightly guided can embrace Islam. Driving a male or female to a right path is under the control of Allah (swt), the creator of the whole universe. It is an unskippable responsibility of the human being that they worship Allah alone. We should realize the truth that there a life after death, where we will be questioned about our acts of worships.
Based on that our Heaven & Hell will be decided. It is the duty of every muslim to convey the message oneness of Allah (worship him alone). Those who accept Islam from their heart, you can turn them away, even you cut them into pieces.
Islam never accepts a forced conversion, unless accepted by your own will. The recently used term "LOVE JIHAD" is nothing but a Bullshit.
