“The prophet of Allah took off his gown and put it on Om Ali and slept with her in her grave and they kicked dirt on him, saying: ‘Oh messenger of Allah, we saw you do something no one else has ever done.’ He said: ‘I dressed her in my gown, so she can wear the gowns of paradise and I slept with her in her grave to relieve her of the torments of the grave.'” (Kanz al-‘Ommal in Sunan al Aqwal wa al-Af’al, vol. 16, p. 158)
“There is no need to rewash a dead woman if her husband has sex with her after she dies….And there is no punishment for anyone who has sex with a dead woman or limits sex to sex with a dead woman.” (Abd Al-Hameed Al-Sharawani, Howashi al-Sharwani (Al-Qubra, Egypt: Al-Maktabah Al-Tojariah, 1983, vol. 1, p. 263)
“There is no restriction against sex with a dead woman or an animal.” (Mohammad Al-Sherbini Al-Khateeb, Al-Iqna3 fi Hal al-Faz: Abu Shoja’a (Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1994, vol. 2, p. 521)
“Anas said: ‘I was present when the daughter of God’s messenger was being buried. He was sitting beside the grave and I saw his eyes shedding tears. He then asked, “Is there any of you who did not have sexual intercourse last night?” Abu Talha replied that he had not, so he told him to go down into her grave, and he did so. Bukhari transmitted it.'” (Mishkat al-Masabih 1715)
“Shafi’i, Hanbali, and Hanafi books reveal: Sexual intercourse with a dead wife is ‘not adultery,'” translated from “كتب الشافعية والحنابلة والأحناف تكشف: نكاح الزوجة الميتة “ليس زنا” Youm 7, September 21, 2017:
The assertions of Sheikh Sabri Abdel-Raouf, the author of the fatwa on sexual intercourse with a dead wife, that it was not a fatwa but rather transmitted from the books of the previous imams, prompted “Youm 7” to search for the origin of these old books, and the surprise was, that the man did not state his own opinion, but rather quoted from the books, as he has already said.
We searched for his first book, “Explanation of the Short Description of Al-Khalil in Maliki Jurisprudence.” The matter was easy: in a search of “the chapter on adultery” and what is related to it, which defines the idea of “adultery” and what are the matters related to it, and who should be subject to the hadd punishment, the text was as follows: “As for the husband, if he intercourse with his wife after her death, before or after her, then there is no punishment for him.”
So this is the first text that Sheikh Sabri Abdel Raouf told us, upon which he based his statement or fatwa, the husband who had sex with the wife after her death, in any way, it is not adultery, and the hadd is not applied!
As for the book “Jahd al-Muhtaaj fi Sharh al-Minhaj” by the Shafi’is, it also said: “There is no restriction upon sexual intercourse with a dead person, according to the more correct view.” The footnote commented: “There is no restriction upon sexual intercourse with a dead person, according to the more correct view, because this is something that is alienated from nature, and the perpetrator shall be reprimanded or punished.”
Here the Shafi’is are more clear. Rather, this is what Sheikh Sabri Abdel Raouf said, that it is an act that is not in the nature of humans, and they resent it, and likened it to drinking urine, so there is no need to put a general punishment, rather it is a punishment that is left to the ruler.
In the book Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah, he said that the matter has two sides, one of which is that it is forbidden, and one of them is that it is not subject to a prohibition, which is the stance of Abu Hanifa and Al-Shafi’i, meaning that Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi here says that Abu Hanifa and Al-Shafi’i said that it is not forbidden.
It was not difficult to find the books on which Sheikh Sabri Abdel Raouf relied. It was an easy matter. The books of the Hanafi, Shafi’i, and Maliki schools of jurisprudence said it, and it is a larger issue than the professor at Al-Azhar University, it is a “case of old books” with everything in them.
“Moroccan Cleric Abd Al-Bari Al-Zamzami: Husbands May Have Sex with Dead Wife’s Corpse; Women May Use Carrots as Vibrators,” MEMRI, March 24, 2012:
Following are excerpts from an interview with Moroccan cleric Abd Al-Bari Al-Zamzami, a member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and from an address delivered by Al-Zamzami. The interview was posted on the Internet on May 11, 2011 and the address on March 24, 2012.…
Abd Al-Bari Al-Zamzami : A few days ago, I was asked by the Al-Sabbah newspaper about men who have sex with their dead wives. The truth is that this question took me by surprise, and I asked the journalist whether there really are people who do this deplorable and disgraceful act, which is not to be expected from a normal, balanced person. Only a mentally or psychologically unbalanced man would do such a thing.
In any case, I do not have the right to prohibit things. Fatwas are not shaped according to one’s will or whim. Rather, they reflect the law of Allah.
[…]
Therefore, I do not have the right to prohibit that act merely because I consider it deplorable.
[…]
The evidence I relied upon in this case was that a wife’s death does not sever her relations with her husband. A wife’s death does not sever her marital relations with her husband. She remains his wife post mortem, in the Hereafter, just as she was his wife in her lifetime.
[…]
It is perfectly clear that marital relations are not severed by a wife’s death. She remains her husband’s wife. This being the case, the husband has the right to do whatever he wants with her. For instance, he may kiss her. It is common for a husband to kiss his wife after her death, out of love and sorrow. This is something that is done, and there is nothing wrong with it.
[…]
The fact that such an act is permissible does not make it commendable or even acceptable. Having sex with your wife’s corpse is permitted but not commendable.
“Egypt’s women urge MPs not to pass early marriage, sex-after-death laws: report,” by Abeer Tayel, Al Arabiya, April 25, 2012:
Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper.
The appeal came in a message sent by Dr. Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker, Dr. Saad al-Katatni, addressing the woes of Egyptian women, especially after the popular uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.
She was referring to two laws: one that would legalize the marriage of girls starting from the age of 14 and the other that permits a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death….
The controversy about a husband having sex with his dead wife came about after a Moroccan cleric spoke about the issue in May 2011.
Zamzami Abdul Bari said that marriage remains valid even after death adding that a woman also too had the same right to engage in sex with her dead husband….
But it seems his view on partners having sex with their deceased partners has found its way to Egypt one year on.
Egyptian prominent journalist and TV anchor Jaber al-Qarmouty on Tuesday referred to Abdul Samea’s article in his daily show on Egyptian ON TV and criticized the whole notion of “permitting a husband to have sex with his wife after her death under a so-called ‘Farewell Intercourse’ draft law.”
“This is very serious. Could the panel that will draft the Egyptian constitution possibly discuss such issues? Did Abdul Samea see by his own eyes the text of the message sent by Talawi to Katatni? This is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right! Has the Islamic trend reached that far? Is there really a draft law in this regard? Are there people thinking in this manner?”…
“Taliban has sex with dead bodies, reveals Afghan woman who came over to India,” OpIndia, August 22, 2021:
A woman who has come over to India from Afghanistan has revealed that Taliban has sex with dead bodies. The woman, called Muskan by News18, worked in the police force in Afghanistan and has come to India due to fear of the Taliban and lives in New Delhi….
She continued, “They rape dead bodies too. They don’t care whether the person is dead or alive… Can you imagine this?” Muskan said that if any woman worked for the government, they would suffer a terrible fate….
“Pakistan: Unidentified men dig up the grave of a teenage woman and rape her corpse, 17 accused being interrogated, investigation underway,” OpIndia, May 7, 2022:
On May 5, Thursday, some unknown men dug out the corpse of a teenage girl and raped it in the Chak Kamala village in Gujrat, Pakistan.
Attaullah Tarar, the deputy secretary-general of the Pakistan Muslim League (PMLN), took to Twitter on May 6 to inform that 17 suspects are being interrogated and the investigation of the case is being done as per scientific methods….
According to local media reports, the teenage deceased girl, who was mentally and physically handicapped, died on May 4, Wednesday. The family buried her in the graveyard as per their religious traditions at around 6 pm in the evening and returned home.
The next day, when they returned to the graveyard to perform some rituals over the girl’s dead body the kin found the grave dug up and the girl’s body missing. Upon searching, they later found the corpse lying around 200 square feet away from the graveyard. It showed signs of rape….
This is not the first such incident in Pakistan. In 2021, some unknown men had carried out a similar barbaric act in Maulvi Ashraf Chandio village near coastal town Ghulamullah. In 2019, OpIndia also reported about in similar crime wherein a group of unidentified men dug up the grave of a woman in a graveyard in Karachi’s Landhi Town area and raped the dead body.
In 2011, a gravekeeper named Muhammad Rizwan from North Nazimabad, Karachi was arrested for necrophilia. He was arrested after he confessed to raping 48 female corpses. Rizwan was caught running away after desecrating a corpse. He had caught the attention of nearby grave diggers and some other people.
somehistory says
This account needs a “correction.” These are not, in any way, “men.” They may be of the male gender, but men, they are not.
This is foul from a despicable, evil, filthy, putrid, feculent “example'” of a beast who ..imagined or real…was a mass-murdering, raper of children, lying sack of maggot waste, sex-mad, slave-trading thief, son of satan the devil. Everything he said…or supposedly so…is pure evil filth from his “father the devil,” and his followers are cut from the same psychopath’s cloth.
But this happened in paksitan…a place where evil and filth is celebrated and rational, moral people are persecuted to death and imprisoned for their clean beliefs.
maria says
It is just quite clear that the muslims are not real human beings but some monsters mixed with cannibals and animals

No, Muslims are human. This is what happens when humans embrace an evil ideology.

The depravity of these people leaves me speechless. On e can just about imagine one man doing this but 17 of them?
gravenimage says
Yes–hardly a “tiny minority of extremists” as we so often hear.
grace says
This is a very sick religion and so are the people who embrace it.
PMK says
Muslim men are very sick people. Does Islam allow cremation?
Infidel says
No. So in this case, it’s a fair assumption that the dead women raped were muslimahs. Buddhists or Hindus would have been cremated. Dunno what’s the convention for Christians these days
somehistory says
I don’t know about Christians in pakistan, but Christianity doesn’t say any special way, and some, esp poor people, may have cremation as the way; others get buried.
PMK says
I don’t know what the convention is for other countries but we’re Catholic and my oldest brother was cremated. I think cremation was once taboo in Catholicism but more and more are being cremated.
Devasur says
Even to this day, Christians don’t accept the cremation practice, in fact, they considered it an evil practice of Hindus/Buddhists.
somehistory says
This not true regarding all Christians and I have known Christian friends who did have their deceased family members cremated.
The Bible does not say that a Christian should do anything special regarding the dead.
gravenimage says
Actually, cremation is increasingly common in the United States, including among Christians. Then, the Vatican has formally OK’d cremation for Catholics. In fact, many Christian churches have columbaria. Devasur is mistaken here.
Devasur says
gravenimage, it was later accepted but the majority of Christians still bury their dead and oppose cremation as it is going against their belief that they cant be resurrected during judgment day.
Next, that perspective comes from Indian Christians.
gravenimage says
Devasur, choosing burial is not the same as considering cremation to be evil.
Then, there are combinations of the two. My English mother wanted to be buried in the churchyard of the town where she grew up and her parents are laid to rest. Working from the US where she passed away, the UK only accepts cremations. So we combined cremation with burial at the churchyard.
And many Christians choose burial because it is customary.
By the way, Christianity *does not* teach that Christians will be denied resurrection if they are not buried.
I don’t personally think it much matters what you choose, so long as it is handled with dignity.
somehistory says
If someone who claims Christianity and believes they *need* to be buried in order to be resurrected, they have a need for some more study.
In the resurrection, the dead will not be in their former, decomposed, body, so it won’t matter if they or their family choose cremation; as the person is dead, and either one is only to follow good hygiene and prevent disease from the dead body. Either one shows respect for life.
tim gallagher says
How sick would you have to be to do this. So now those Muslim rape gangs (which were Pakistanis in the UK) have extended to raping dead people. Takes evil to a new, even more depraved level. I agree with PMK’s comment up above. Maybe cremation is the only way to go.
Ade Fegan says
For the woman or …. ?

Yes, Ade, burning these perpetrators alive almost seems a suitable punishment.

With Islam it can always get worse.
tim gallagher says
Yes, James, it is such a strange and evil kind of perversion. Very diseased minds involved without a doubt. Eleanor, I’d put this disgusting behaviour on the same level as that recent report about how demanding sex from a woman in labour is fine and dandy. Both seem almost beyond belief. Islam produces absolute monsters that’s for sure..

john smith says
Everything that other religions consider evil, satanic or taboo is allowed in islam. Everything from, rape, theft, bestiality, murder, necrophilia, misogyny, wife beating, paedophilia, even cannibalism it’s all to be found in islam.
Correct me if I’ve left anything out.
somehistory says
slavery for sex, and lying about all of it. Otherwise, I think you have it covered.
john smith says
I didn’t quite have it covered, I just remembered inbreeding, and the deformed and mentality retarded children they produce. This is islam, this is what allah (satan) desires from them.
somehistory says
All true, John.
Andy evil, any depravity, all from satan and incorporated in islam.
PMK says
Inbreeding predates Islam. Jacob married his two first cousins, Lia and Rachel. Lot’s daughters were impregnated by their father. (they did it without his consent, after getting him drunk.)
It’s second-hand, but I believe the Catholic Church forbade first cousin marriages.
somehistory says
There were fewer people from whom to choose back then, and those who worshipped God didn’t want to go to the people who didn’t worship Him to find a mate.
However, when God gave the Law to the Israelites, such close marriages were forbidden. No more was it to be tolerated as it had been before the Law.
john smith says
Marrying a cousin is common practice amongst muslims so inbreeding is bound to take place. The reason for this is muhammad also married his cousin Zaynab bint Jahsh.
CogitoErgoSum says
Islam resulted from Mohammad’s desire to turn his own vices into virtues and to make his own mental illness seem like the way all people should be so, yeah, this is bizarre but that’s Islam for you.
tim gallagher says
That’s a pretty good summary of Islam, CogitoErgoSum. Says it all really. And yet this degenerate load of crap has over a billion members.
Pierre Delecto says
This is one of multiple distinctions between Islam and the all the other civilizations of which I am aware. No where but in Islam are the hot chicks room temperature.

Derek says
I find it so sickening to imagine that all that the messenger, while overseeing the burial of his daughter, could even think about his daughter’s dead body be made love to. UGGHHHH. There is no point in criticising such people who themselves find nothing wrong with this. To them the messenger was THE ideal person who is to be followed.
gravenimage says
This is not “making love”–it is desecration and rape.
Alfredo says
The depravity of the Muhammadans is beyond belief. But because we live in a fallen world where evil is good, black is white and bitter is sweet, the Truth is now hate speech.
Black Sabbath says
It is time to ban islam worldwide.
OLD GUY says
It seems like only the Devil himself could come up with the religious practices of ISLAM. I now truly understand that Islam is a religion, the religion of the DEVIL How can any Government, news media, or sane person not recognize the evil of the devils work in creating ISLAM.
Islam is the face of EVIL. And you won’t see this story in the headlines, islamophobia fear will keep it hidden.
Trevor Loughlin says
The problem is that Pakistan is the most inbred nation on Earth and inbreeding makes you ugly and stupid, and in the West these people would merely be incels. But Pakistan has all but abolished normal access to females, so these mutants will resort to desperate measures to lose their virginity. Sexual repression causes perversion, as with the sadistic abuse in the Magdalene Asylums in the Irish Republic. It is probably better that they raped a dead woman, since a live woman would be sentenced to death for being raped in the “honour” killing system of Pakistan.
notnolib says
It’s just islam folks. The terrorists at the terror group CAIR and its terrorist members, supporters and officers are just as good at pleasuring a dead woman as a live one. That’s why muslims have to remove the clitoris. muslim men are incapable of pleasing women.
When muslim women cheat, and they do cheat, they typically seek out Jewish men who are well known for their patience and inventiveness.
