What is the ruling on Muslim and non-Muslim police personnel taking part in funeral arrangements for fellow officers, including gunfire, bugle calls and uniforms?

Summary

Muslim police officers are not permitted to carry the body of a non-Muslim officer or take part in the funeral band without an urgent need. Where there is an urgent need, carrying the body is allowed provided they do not take part in any religious ritual. A Muslim officer's body should likewise not be carried by non-Muslim officers without urgent need. Firing shots after burial, sounding the bugle, and using music or sounds in Muslim funeral management are prohibited, as is dressing a deceased officer, Muslim or non-Muslim, in a uniform bearing the words Allah and Muhammad.
