Abstract

COVID-19 has changed the way people grieve the loss of their loved ones. Lockdown and social isolation have made it difficult for them to express their grief and connect with others emotionally. Religious beliefs and attitudes towards health recommendations influence the viewpoints of people from various religious backgrounds. The Islamic traditions are the source of Islamic law’s prohibitions on death, yet Muslims across the world observe a range of death ceremonies and traditions. This review article highlights the death rituals, grief, and mourning within the Kashmiri Muslim community amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
