Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 3: When the deceased is placed in the grave, is it permissible to untie the knots on the shroud, all of them or some of them? Which ones are to be untied? And is his face uncovered before the bricks are placed on him, or is he left covered?
A 3 : Yes, the knots on the shroud of the deceased are to be untied after he is placed in the grave, as the need for them has ceased. His face is not uncovered, as there is no evidence for doing so. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
