Rules of the Period after Death.
541. It is Mustahab that the eyes and lips of a dead person
be shut, its chin be tied, its hands and feet be straightened and to spread a cloth over
it. If a person dies at night it is Mustahab to light the place where he/she is, to inform
Momineen to joint the funeral, and to hasten the burial. But if, they are not sure of
his/her death, they should wait till they are certain. Moreover, if the dead person is a
pregnant woman and there is a living child in her womb, her burial should be delayed till
such time that her left side is cut open and the child is taken out and then to sew her
side.
