Uncovering the face of the deceased after placing him in the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you, is it prescribed to uncover the face of the deceased after he is placed in his grave?

Answer:
No, no, it is not permissible. Nothing of his body is to be uncovered; his face and the rest of him are to be covered with his shroud. This is the view of some of the common people; some of them hold this view.
