I thought muslims had to be buried within 24 hours of dying?

Converting on your death bed doesn't give a lot of time to

sort stuff out. I guess they would normally have a family plot or designated cemetary.

 

A Russian Muslim? that would be Vodka and er.....

 

I thought that muslims were usually cremated?

 

RE: Converting on your death bed doesn't give a lot of time to

"Muslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead."

I think that is forbidden reading this bit

"It is preferred for a Muslim to be buried where he or she died, and not be transported to another location or country (which may cause delays or require embalming the body). If available, a cemetery (or section of one) set aside for Muslims is preferred. The deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca."

 

wonder how many muslims are buried alive after appearing to be dead

but not!

Absolutely cringed to hear about all the bodies they exumed that time to test for a disease to find scrapings from nails clawing at the coffin lid! Nasty.

Buried alive! Got to be one of the worst things EVER! That bit in kill bill - scary ****. No way could she have got out like she did.

 

just googled these and a lot are urban legends i think

still fekin creepy though!
