There is no specific reason for burying the Shaykh in the Sufi cemeteries, except that he was buried there beside his brother Sharaf al-Din Abdullah. Burial in Sufi cemeteries is not forbidden, as they are Muslims, and burial in Muslim cemeteries is the norm. These cemeteries are not exclusive to Sufis alone; other Muslims have also been buried there.
