Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is orienting the deceased toward the qiblah part of the Sunnah or part of the recommended practices?

A: This is prescribed; based on the hadith:
The Ka'bah is your qiblah in life and in deathالكعبة قبلتكم أحياء وأمواتًا
and he is placed on his right side with his face toward the qiblah.
