|
What have Islamic scholars ruled on the following matter? Is it allowed to see the face of the deceased after the funeral Salah. |
|
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
|
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
|
To see the face of the deceased before and after the funeral Salah is permissible. There is no harm in it. However, care should be taken that there should be no delay in the burial of the deceased because of seeing and letting others see his face. Blessed Shari’ah has commanded Muslims to be quick to give Ghusl to the deceased and to wrap him in the shroud. Unnecessary delay is forbidden.(Fatawa Tatarkhaniyah, vol. 3, pp. 78 – Fatawa Fayz-ur-Rasool, vol. 3, pp. 415) |
