Oslo’s mosque in the Grønland district is facing a disturbing issue: drug use occurring immediately outside the area where bodies are prepared for Islamic funerals. For years, individuals have reportedly been using drugs in the vicinity of the mosque’s mortuary facilities, creating a distressing environment for those grieving and preparing for burials. Mosque officials describe the situation as undignified and disrespectful to the deceased and their families. The practice of washing the body is a crucial ritual before burial in Islam, performed in a specific room within the mosque. Authorities have been notified, but the problem persists, causing significant distress to the Muslim community. The mosque is seeking solutions to address the ongoing issue and ensure a respectful atmosphere for religious practices and mourning.
