Rules related to a dying person =C2=BB Rules about burial of the dead =
body
620. It is obligatory to bury a dead body in the ground, so deep that =
its smell does not come out and the beasts of prey do not dig it out, =
and, if there is a danger of such beasts digging it out then the grave =
should be made solid with bricks, etc.
621. If it is not possible to bury a dead body in the ground, it may be =
kept in a vault or a coffin, instead.
622. The dead body should be laid in the grave on its right side so that =
the face remains towards the Qibla.
623. If a person dies on a ship and if there is no fear of the decay of =
the dead body and if there is no problem in retaining it for sometime on =
the ship, it should be kept on it and buried in the ground after =
reaching the land. Otherwise, after giving Ghusl, Hunut, Kafan and =
Namaz-e-Mayyit it should be lowered into the sea in a vessel of clay or =
with a weight tied to its feet. And as far as possible it should not be =
lowered at a point where it is eaten up immediately by the sea =
predators.
624. If it is feared that an enemy may dig up the grave and exhume the =
dead body and amputate its ears or nose or other limbs, it should be =
lowered into sea, if possible, as stated in the foregoing rule.
625. The expenses of lowering the dead body into the sea, or making the =
grave solid on the ground can be deducted from the estate of the =
deceased, if necessary.
626. If a non-Muslim woman dies with a dead child, or soulless foetus in =
her womb, and if the father is a Muslim then the woman should be laid in =
the grave on her left side with her back towards Qibla, so that the face =
of the child is towards Qibla.
627. It is not permitted to bury a Muslim in the graveyard of the =
non-Muslims, nor to bury a non-Muslim in the graveyard of the Muslims.
628. It is also not permissible to bury the dead body of a Muslim at a =
place which is disrespectful, like places where garbage is thrown.
629. It is not permissible to bury a dead body in a usurped place nor in =
a place which is dedicated for purposes other than burial (e.g. in a =
Masjid).
630. It is not permissible to dig up a grave for the purpose of burying =
another dead body in it, unless one is sure that the grave is very old =
and the former body has been totally disintegrated.
631. Anything which is separated from the dead body (even its hair, nail =
or tooth) should be buried along with it. And if any part of the body, =
including hair, nails or teeth are found after the body has been buried, =
they should be buried at a separate place, as per obligatory precaution. =
And it is Mustahab that nails and teeth cut off or extracted during =
lifetime are also buried.
632. If a person dies in a well and it is not possible to take him out, =
the well should be sealed, and the well should be treated as his grave.
633. If a child dies in its mother's womb and its remaining in the womb =
is dangerous for the mother, it should be brought out in the easiest =
possible way. If it becomes inevitable to cut it into pieces there is no =
objection in doing so. It is, however, better that if the husband of the =
woman is skilled in surgery the dead body of the child should be taken =
out by him, and failing that, the job should be performed by a skilled =
woman. And if that is not available, a skilled surgeon who is the mahram =
(one with whom marriage cannot be contracted) of the woman should do it. =
And if even that is not available a skilled man who is not mahram (one =
with whom marriage can be contracted) should remove the dead child. And =
if even such a person is not available the dead body can be brought out =
by any unskilled person.
634. If a woman dies and there is a living child in her womb, it should =
be brought out in the safest possible way, even if there be no hope for =
the child's survival. The body of the mother should then be sewn up.
Mustahab acts of Dafn
635. It is Mustahab that the depth of the grave should be approximately =
equal to the size of an average person and the dead body be buried in =
the nearest graveyard, except when the graveyard which is situated =
farther is better due to some reasons, like if pious persons are buried =
there or people go there in large number for Fateha. It is also =
recommended that the coffin is placed on the ground a few yards away =
from the grave and then taken to the grave by halting three times =
briefly. It should be placed on the ground every time and then lifted =
before finally it is lowered into the grave at the 4th time.
And if the dead body is of a male, it should be placed on the ground at =
the 3rd time in such a manner that its head should be towards the lower =
side of the grave and at the 4th time it should be lowered into the =
grave from the side of its head. And if the dead body is of a female it =
should be placed on the ground at the 3rd time towards the Qibla and =
should be lowered into the grave sidewise and a cloth should be spread =
over the grave while lowering it. It is also Mustahab that the dead body =
should be taken out of the coffin and lowered into the grave very =
gently, and the prescribed supplications should be recited before and =
during burying the dead body; and after the dead body has been lowered =
into the niche, the ties of its shroud should be unfastened and its =
cheek should be placed on earth, and an earthen pillow should be done up =
under its head and some unbacked bricks or lumps of clay should be =
placed behind its back so that the dead body may not return flat on its =
back. Before closing the niche, the person reciting the talqin should =

place his left hand tightly on its left shoulder and take his mouth near =
its ear and shaking its shoulders should say thrice: Isma' ifham ya =

grave should be Pak, bare-headed and bare-footed and he should climb out =
of the grave from the feet side. Moreover, persons, other than the near =
relatives of the deceased, should put the dust into the grave with the =
back side of their hands and recite the following: Inna lillahi wa =
innailayhi raji'un. If the dead person is a woman, her mahram and in the =
absence of a mahram her kinsmen should lower her in the grave.
637. It is Mustahab that the grave be square or rectangular in shape and =
its height equal to four fingers' span. A sign should be fixed on it for =
the purpose of identification and water should be poured on it, and then =
those present should place their hands on the grave parting their =
fingers and thrusting them into earth. Then recite Surah al-Qadr 7 times =
and pray for the forgiveness of the departed soul and say: Alla humma =

wa askin qabrahu min rahmatika ma tughneehi bihi 'an rahmati man siwaka.

guardian grants permission should recite the prescribed supplications =
for the dead person.
639. It is Mustahab that after the burial, the bereaved family is =
consoled, praying for their well being. However, if the condolence is =

memories, then it should be avoided. It is Mustahab that food be sent to =
the members of the family of the deceased for 3 days. It is, however, =
Makrooh to take meal with them in their homes.
640. It is also Mustahab that a person should observe patience on the =
death of his near ones, especially on the death of his son, and, =
whenever the memory of the departed soul crosses his mind, he should =
say: Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un and should recite the holy =

641. As a matter of precaution, one should refrain from scratching one's =
face or body, or uprooting one's hair to display the grief. However, =
slapping one's head or face is permitted.
642. It is not permissible to tear one's clothes on the death of anyone =
except on the death of one's father and brother, though the recommended =
precaution is that one should not tear one's clothes on their death =
