Exposing the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) when washing the deceased

Question:
We participate in washing the deceased, but performing some of what the author mentioned results in the exposure of the 'awrah. What is your guidance?

Answer:
No, the 'awrah is not exposed. The author did not tell you to expose the 'awrah. This is done behind a covering; you place a covering over the 'awrah and insert your hand to perform these actions from behind the covering. Yes, you apply the cotton and the tannin from behind the covering, or one person lifts the covering out of sight of the eyes, and you work with your hands from under the curtain. Yes.
