Title: Being Buried in Pig Skins Question: I understand that in the Qur'an pigs are forbidden animals. I have been told by friends that if one is to be buried in a pig skin, then they will not go to Allah. Is this true? Aheem Answer: I really cannot bring myself to imagine why a Muslim would like or allow any of his deceased loved ones to be buried in pig-skins. Nevertheless, it should remain clear that on the Day of Judgment, a person would only be held responsible for the deeds, which he has intentionally committed. Obviously, whatever is done to the corpse of a person cannot be considered as a 'deed' of that person. The dead person will not be held accountable for any of the deeds of the living. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad September 21, 2001
