Do you guys ever question aspects of Islam such as need for burial? Burial and preserving of the human body makes no logical sense without organ donation and is terrible for the environment. In an ideal world, I’d either do cremation or donate my body for science purposes. Figure those ways will help humanity than simply throwing a body in the ground in a box. Wonder if we knew about what science says back then - wouldn’t we not only allow it, but also recommend/require it?

Islam doesn’t require burial in a coffin / box. It is considered makrooh and only few schools of thought allow it if the ground is wet or wild animal will access it.

According to quick google search/ Gemini response-

No, Islamic burial practices are not environmentally harmful; in fact, they are often considered environmentally beneficial because they emphasize simplicity and a natural return to the earth, aligning closely with green burial principles. These practices typically avoid embalming chemicals, non-biodegradable coffins, and large markers, which reduces the environmental impact compared to conventional burials. The focus is on natural decomposition and a quick burial, which has a low carbon footprint and conserves natural resources

They are the least harmful burial option but burial in itself if a bad option. Composting or aquamation is best..environmentally speaking

Had a relative who thought the same way as you. He told his wife to not invite anyone to the funeral…so assuming he did do donations of organs. Allah knows best.

No. It's a religious rite not a science project.

These are the snarky responses no one needs. I’m literally looking for constructive ways to challenge traditional processes with modern , scientifically backed advancements.

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller.

Please advise!
