Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, would you please explain the manner of burying the dead?
Answer:
The deceased is clearly a dead person who is to be buried. A grave is dug with a niche (lahd) on the side facing the qiblah. His face is turned toward the qiblah, and he is placed on his right side, wearing his shroud. The knots of the shroud are untied, then bricks are placed on the niche and the gaps are sealed. The gaps are sealed by placing some clay, and then he is buried. He is inserted from the feet, and the one burying says, "In the name of Allah and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He is placed on his right side, facing the qiblah.
