The ruling on raising the bier of a deceased woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm Abdullah asking, and she says: Shaykh, recently the coffins for the deceased, especially if it is a woman, are raised. Which is better: the customary coffins, or these raised ones so that the body of the deceased woman is not visible?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, meaning a woman’s bier has a cover over her completely so that no one sees her; this is the best, without a doubt. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
