JAKARTA - Dorce Gamalama wants to be buried as a woman. He also did not want any tahlilan after 40 days of death. Dorce previously had the name Dedi, then decided to have sex change surgery in 1983.

Gus Miftah gave an explanation from the point of view of Islamic law. "This is indeed very controversial, yes. So firstly, in the letter Alhujurat Allah created only two sexes, male and female. In fiqh there is a third gender called honsah, a person who is two girls or boys, both both exist. And this person wants to be made a girl or a boy with medical analysis," he said, quoted from the NitNot YouTube channel, Sunday, January 30.

"If conditions like this are fiqh, he (Dorce Gamalama) is still a man. That means, his funeral will certainly return to his original nature. If he was born a man, it is better if he should be buried in a male state," continued Gus Miftah.

Hearing Gus Miftah's explanation, Dorce immediately reacted. Through a video uploaded on Instagram, he fully leaves the funeral decision to his family in the future.

"To the kiai and ustaz who explained my death, who bathed me, buried me, let my family take care of me. I want the shroud to be seven layers, eight layers, I leave it to those who take care of it, let my family take care of it," said Dorce.

Dorce Gamalama also hopes that there will be no more noisy comments about his will. "Men can, women can, anyone can be a well-known kiai, don't give bad comments, you should give treats and appeals to anyone because I am a human being who has responsibility," he continued.
