Question
In terms of preparation for ones death I would dearly love to sign a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), directive. As a person without much means I would also prefer to be buried in a common grave, to minimize expenses. There will be non- Muslims there and my wish is that my presence among them will relieve them of some of their sufferings in the grave. Are DNRs Halal and what is the status of a poor Muslim in a non-Muslim country being buried in a common grave among non-Muslims?
Answer
It is not permissible to sign a DNR document nor is it permissible to be buried in a non- Muslim cemetery. If the Muslim is buried in a non-Muslim cemetery by others, Allah Ta‟ala will take care of him if he had died with Imaan.
