The paper reconstructs the legal framework of the regulation of practices related to the death of Muslim believers in Spain, with a dual perspective, confessional and statal. The first part will set out the regulations governing treatment of the deceased in Muslim worship, having as a point of reference the doctrine of the majority schools, namely the Malekite and the Hanafite. The second one will highlight the instruments that have led to the partial and fragmented acceptance of Muslim claims in funerary matters. The outcome of the examination will highlight the critical aspects of this system, namely the persistent inertia of the public administration, the difficulty in providing adequate responses to denominational needs, the violation of the principle of equality in diversity, and the risk of radicalization motivated by the failure to facilitate the exercise of religious freedom.
L’articolo ricostruisce la cornice giuridica della regolamentazione delle pratiche connesse alla morte dei fedeli musulmani in Spagna, con una duplice prospettiva, confessionale e statale. Si esporranno, anzitutto, le norme che disciplinano il trattamento dei defunti nel culto musulmano, avendo come punto di riferimento la dottrina delle scuole maggioritarie, ossia la malechita e la hanafita. Successivamente, si metteranno in luce gli strumenti che hanno condotto all’accoglimento parziale e frammentario delle pretese musulmane in materia funeraria. All’esito della disamina, saranno evidenziate le criticità di tale sistema, ossia la perdurante inerzia dell’amministrazione pubblica, la difficoltà nel dare risposte adeguate alle esigenze confessionali, la violazione del principio di uguaglianza nella diversità, il rischio di radicalizzazione motivata dalla mancata agevolazione dell’esercizio della libertà religiosa.

Abstract
The paper reconstructs the legal framework of the regulation of practices related to the death of Muslim believers in Spain, with a dual perspective, confessional and statal. The first part will set out the regulations governing treatment of the deceased in Muslim worship, having as a point of reference the doctrine of the majority schools, namely the Malekite and the Hanafite. The second one will highlight the instruments that have led to the partial and fragmented acceptance of Muslim claims in funerary matters. The outcome of the examination will highlight the critical aspects of this system, namely the persistent inertia of the public administration, the difficulty in providing adequate responses to denominational needs, the violation of the principle of equality in diversity, and the risk of radicalization motivated by the failure to facilitate the exercise of religious freedom.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
