The ruling on directing the dying person and the deceased toward the qiblah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the person who is dying directed toward the qiblah at the time of his death? And is the deceased in his grave directed toward the qiblah?

Answer:
This is the Sunnah, yes. The Sunnah is to direct him toward the qiblah. The qiblah is the qiblah of Muslims, whether living or dead. So the dying person is directed toward the qiblah, and in the grave he is placed on his right side facing the direction of the qiblah. This is the Sunnah, yes.
