There are other mosques, but this is the one the local Muslim community uses.
And did the vicar bury the child?
No, he hasn't yet.
I know that the vicar and the imam have a good working relationship. Hopefully they will both discuss this situation and come to a beneficial solution.
As Insane Insaan explained there should be no reason why the little girl cannot be buried Islamically, even if certain rituals such a washing or praying will not be required or permitted. (Thank you, Insane Insaan. That was very informative! :))
That's what I thought. The vicar had never come across such a situation before either.
That's why I thought I'd mention the circumstances too, rather than just ask the question.
