Someone just died?

  1. Call the masjid’s funeral committee first. If the death was at home and unexpected, call 144 or 112 before anyone else.
  2. Ask them: who does the ghusl, what time the janazah prayer will be, which funeral director they work with, and whether there is a plot in a Muslim cemetery or section.
  3. Then take it one step at a time. What to do when a Muslim dies in Switzerland.
