When a muslim dies, they are to be buried within 24 hours.NopeWe were told that it was a muslim tradition to be buried at sea. Is this a correct statement?
Bin Laden's burial at sea in followed Islamic practices, White House insists - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
If he is out to sea in a boat far from land when he dies. Then he can be buried at sea.
But I have never heard of someone dying on land and then being buried at sea??
I have no doubt that the U.S. government followed Islamic burial at sea rituals.
But in reality, Osama bin Laden's sea burial was for political and future security concerns.
