Is it permissible to bury someone outside of the cemetery of one's rel. congregation ?

Post by DefendTheTruth » 16 Jan 2020, 17:54

I read the following message on Facebook today and wondered myself if this practice is permissible in terms of one's religious doctrine?

I have never come before across a similar story, as far as I can remember.

If this practice is not permissible in terms of the religious practice, then I can't stop wondering why people are adding much more pain to an already extremely painful and sad story?

Just briefly for those of you who don't understand Afaan Oromoo: "before 27 years (during the Charter period) a father and his son were killed in their own home by government forces and then denied the right to get buried in a cemetery, according to the usual practice of the area. They were buried in a single hole digged in the yard of the house itself. (it was intended, according to the writer, to make the rest of the family live with the pain for the rest of their lives). Now, after 27 years the surrounding area Youth came together and digged the remains of the two and buried them in a cemetery of the Pheenxee", which is practically everywhere these days there around the place the story is about, in the environs of Ambo town.

I am pretty sure, as someone who knows well the area, that the two were not members of this congregation before they died.

If anyone knows a similar story, please share here.
