Islamic Scholars: OBL‘s Burial At Sea ’Humiliates Muslims,’ Violates Islamic Law

CAIRO (AP/THE BLAZE) — The Obama administration, through counter-terrorism chief John Brennan, took great pains to explain to reporters today that Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in “strict conformance with Islamic precepts and practices.”
But Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden’s burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.
Although there appears to be some room for debate over the burial – as with many issues within the faith – a wide range of senior Islamic scholars interpreted it as a humiliating disregard for the standard Muslim practice of placing the body in a grave with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca.
Sea burials can be allowed, they said, but only in special cases where the death occurred aboard a ship.
Bin Laden’s burial at sea “runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values and humanitarian customs,” said Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar mosque, Sunni Islam’s highest seat of learning.
A radical cleric in Lebanon, Omar Bakri Mohammed, said, “The Americans want to humiliate Muslims through this burial, and I don’t think this is in the interest of the U.S. administration.”
A U.S. official said the burial decision was made after concluding that it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. There was also speculation about worry that a grave site could have become a rallying point for militants.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters.
President Barack Obama said the remains had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial, and the Pentagon later said the body was placed into the waters of the northern Arabian Sea after adhering to traditional Islamic procedures – including washing the corpse – aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson.
But the Lebanese cleric Mohammed called it a “strategic mistake” that was bound to stoke rage.
In Washington, CIA director Leon Panetta warned that “terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge” the killing of the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks.
“Bin Laden is dead,” Panetta wrote in a memo to CIA staff. “Al-Qaida is not.”
According to Islamic teachings, the highest honor to be bestowed on the dead is giving the deceased a swift burial, preferably before sunset. Those who die while traveling at sea can have their bodies committed to the bottom of the ocean if they are far off the coast, according to Islamic tradition.
“They can say they buried him at sea, but they cannot say they did it according to Islam,” Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai’s grand mufti, said about bin Laden’s burial. “If the family does not want him, it’s really simple in Islam: You dig up a grave anywhere, even on a remote island, you say the prayers and that’s it.”
“Sea burials are permissible for Muslims in extraordinary circumstances,” he added. “This is not one of them.”
But Mohammed Qudah, a professor of Islamic law at the University of Jordan, said burying the Saudi-born bin Laden at sea was not forbidden if there was nobody to receive the body and provide a Muslim burial.
“The land and the sea belong to God, who is able to protect and raise the dead at the end of times for Judgment Day,” he said. “It‘s neither true nor correct to claim that there was nobody in the Muslim world ready to receive bin Laden’s body.”
Clerics in Iraq, where an offshoot of al-Qaida is blamed for the death of thousands of people since 2003, also criticized the U.S. action. One said it only benefited fish.
“If a man dies on a ship that is a long distance from land, then the dead man should be buried at the sea,” said Shiite cleric Ibrahim al-Jabari. “But if he dies on land, then he should be buried in the ground, not to be thrown into the sea. Otherwise, this would be only inviting fish to a banquet.”
The Islamic tradition of a quick burial was the subject of intense debate in Iraq in 2003 when U.S. forces embalmed the bodies of Saddam Hussein’s two sons after they were killed in a firefight. Their bodies were later shown to media.
“What was done by the Americans is forbidden by Islam and might provoke some Muslims,” said another Islamic scholar from Iraq, Abdul-Sattar al-Janabi, who preaches at Baghdad’s famous Abu Hanifa mosque. “It is not acceptable and it is almost a crime to throw the body of a Muslim man into the sea. The body of bin Laden should have been handed over to his family to look for a country or land to bury him.”
Prominent Egyptian Islamic analyst and lawyer Montasser el-Zayat said bin Laden’s sea burial was designed to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine. But an option was an unmarked grave.
“They don’t want to see him become a symbol, but he is already a symbol in people’s hearts.”

HAHA! I agree, but I’d take it a step further – we should at least SAY that we hose down all captured jihadists with hog lard, and bury all their dead with a bucket of pig entrails.
In all seriousness though, this is a kingdom vs kingdom war and we have to make up our minds whether we want to sustain it and live in constant fear, or if we have the fortitude to completely wipe out the opposition.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 7:11pmIt is a win win that we dumped the body at sea “in accordance with Islamic law.” It is a complete FU under the guise of respect. Learn to work, kid.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 7:13pmYes he was by their standard. He was following in the footsteps of their beloved prophet. They have no respect for other religions and yet they expect others to respect their 8th century moon god.

Posted on May 2, 2011 at 7:19pmSo, did any radical muslim give a crap about the dignity of any of the 3000 they killed on 9/11?
This piece of crap got more than he deserved. I would have hung his body in chains from the bow of the George Washington and let the birds peck it into oblivion until it fell, bone by bone under the wake of the namesake carrier of our first president.

Posted on May 3, 2011 at 11:28amWhat is wrong with you people? You openly call for desecration of his remains. Yes what he did to Americans was disgusting but he paid the price for it with death. Yet you want to further desecrate him by disfiguring and violating his religous beliefs with pork products? That is why I will never be a religous person. I see “christians” and “religous” people constantly violating their beliefs yet telling me I‘m going to hell because I’m an athiest. Talk about a pot calling a skillet black. Im an athiest yet I respect all beliefs and would never blatantly violate someones beliefs no matter what attrocities they commited. You people amaze me, smh

Posted on May 3, 2011 at 3:08pmI’m with @nuttyvet !!! They drag our soldiers bodies around on the ground, they hang them from bridges, they murder 3000 innocent civilians and thier countrymen celebrate…. the palastinians murder 3 month old children stabbing them in the heart and their countrymen pass out candies and celebrate and then blame the Israelis for deaths of thier people when they have been firing LITERALLY hundreds of rockets into Israel every month for years!!!
Who gives a RIP what they want or don’t want. You pick a fight with someone, you take a risk, you lose and you don’t get it your way.
They should be especially thankful Americans do not share their barbaric philosophy or else there would be a WHOLE LOT of available land in the Middle East with no people living there!
When will American Liberals get it… IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH FOR THEM until we are dead, just like Israel…they want us DEAD, nothing less will satisfy! Get in your soft gelatin like heads.

Posted on May 3, 2011 at 3:14pmI’d say good riddance to bad rubbish, but most rubbish is NOT as evil smelling as Osama. Just glad we fed him to the fish. As far as his ‘ceremonial washing’…I believe the Seals and the Navy just wanted his nasty DNA off their ship. And, as far as Obama having a clue as what to do regarding this mission? None, nadda and nonsense. It was probably his idea to do the ‘clean up’ of the corpse, but otherwise…the troops were glad to oblige and do their own thing. YEA!!! USA!!!

See, in this way, no matter where the currents take him, he can always turn his pointy little head toward the bastion of his beliefs!!! I cannot comprehend why ANYBODY would want to claim him as a man of their faith! Even his own family disowned him!!!
