The process
What happens after you call
Ghusl & kafan
We arrange ghusl (the ritual washing) with trained brothers or sisters. Simple white kafan (shroud) is provided.
Salat al-Janazah
The funeral prayer is held at Warragul Mosque before the body travels to the cemetery. Usually the same day or the day after the death, Sunnah permitting.
Burial
Gippsland Muslim families typically use Warragul Cemetery (Muslim section) or one of the Melbourne Muslim cemeteries. We help with paperwork and a plot.
Bereavement support
After the burial we stay in touch. We organise dua gatherings, meal trains, and pastoral visits for grieving families.
Fiqh & practicalities
Frequently asked
What does it cost?
BINAI does not charge for coordinating a janazah. External costs (cemetery plot, funeral director, transport) are paid directly by the family — we will help you understand typical pricing and financial assistance pathways.
What if the deceased isn't Muslim?
Janazah is performed only for Muslims. We're still happy to speak with non-Muslim families about what to expect if a Muslim relative has passed, and to guide you.
What if the death happens in Melbourne?
We can coordinate with established Melbourne mosques and Muslim funeral directors. Burial can take place in a Melbourne Muslim cemetery or at Warragul Cemetery, whichever the family prefers.
Can women attend the burial?
At Warragul Mosque, women are welcome at the salat al-janazah and at graveside. Classical opinions differ on women attending the cemetery itself — we respect each family's chosen practice.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon
“Verily we belong to Allah, and verily to Him we return.”
May Allah have mercy on those who have passed, and comfort those they have left behind.
