Question:
Some jurists say that the one praying over the deceased may stand at the chest of the man?

Answer:
No, the Sunnah is to stand at the head; this is what is established in the authentic hadiths. And for a woman, it is at her lower back, at the middle of the woman, as in the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) .
