Question:
Are we allowed to be buried with any form of possession? By way of example, can one ask that they be buried with their ijazah certificate?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salฤmu สฟalaykum wa-rahmatullฤhi wa-barakฤtuh.
At the outset, it should be mentioned that there is nothing specific established about burying additional items aside from the deceasedโs body.
Fuqahฤสพ have discussed placing items for the purpose of seeking barakah from them. For example, placing Qurสพan along with the deceased, or placing piece of Kaสฟbaโs cloth or writing upon the Kafn with some duสฟฤสพ. In all such cases, without going in details, any action which brings disrespect towards Qurสพฤnic text or name of Allah will not be permissible.
Hence it is not permissible to put Qurสพฤn, or its text, or any tablet or kaสฟba cloth with Qurสพฤnic writing on it in the grave. But if a piece of cloth from kaสฟba which does not have any qurสพฤnic writing on it is placed therein, then it will be permissible.
Any sanad or similar document with any of the name of Allah, Qurสพฤnic text or anything which has a potential of being disrespected will also not be permissible to bury along with deceased either.
Simplicity must be adopted in this life, and in the way we leave it as well. The achievements of this world, such as oneโs sanad or ijฤza, are for sake of Allah. Allah does not require such reminders. The intent of oneโs struggle is duly recorded by Allah, and comfort, contentment and proximity with Allah is all written by Allah.
And Allah Taโฤla Knows Best
