However, if it is possible to transport the body without undergoing such procedures, such as by placing it in deep refrigeration and then transferring it to the desired location (e.g., Najaf al-Ashraf)—then there is no objection, and the will may be carried out, provided all other conditions of a valid will are met. Allah knows best.
