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-salฤmu สฟalaykum wa-rahmatullฤhi wa-barakฤtuh.

At the outset, it should be mentioned that there is nothing specific established about burying additional items aside from the deceasedโ€™s body.

Fuqahฤสพ have discussed placing items for the purpose of seeking barakah from them. For example, placing Qurสพan along with the deceased, or placing piece of Kaสฟbaโ€™s cloth or writing upon the Kafn with some duสฟฤสพ. In all such cases, without going in details, any action which brings disrespect towards Qurสพฤnic text or name of Allah will not be permissible.

Hence it is not permissible to put Qurสพฤn, or its text, or any tablet or kaสฟba cloth with Qurสพฤnic writing on it in the grave. But if a piece of cloth from kaสฟba which does not have any qurสพฤnic writing on it is placed therein, then it will be permissible.

Any sanad or similar document with any of the name of Allah, Qurสพฤnic 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 oneโ€™s sanad or ijฤza, are for sake of Allah. Allah does not require such reminders. The intent of oneโ€™s struggle is duly recorded by Allah, and comfort, contentment and proximity with Allah is all written by Allah.

And Allah Taโ€™ฤla Knows Best
