The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : Is it permissible to uncover the face of the deceased when he is placed in the grave?
The Shaykh : Some scholars said: Only his cheek that faces the ground is uncovered, not his face. Others said: It is not a recommended practice, because the shroud is called a shroud because it covers the deceased, meaning that nothing of him is exposed.
