The ruling on uncovering the face of the deceased after placing him in the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on what many people do, which is uncovering the face of the deceased after placing him in the grave?

Answer:
There is no basis for this. Nothing is uncovered from it; nothing is uncovered from the body of the deceased, neither his face nor anything else. This is only from the actions of the common people. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
