What to do at the time of death?
Any Muslim who is near death is placed on their right side so that their face is turned towards Qiblah. Those present recite Kalimah Al Shahâdah and read Sûrah Yâsîn.
After death, the chin is held up with a piece of cloth tied from over the head. Then the eyes are closed and the hands are stretched out on each side. A piece of metal is put on the abdomen to prevent swelling. No one recites the Noble Qur’ân near the dead person until the Ghusl bath has been given. When the dead person is to be bathed, the body is laid on the washing bench in such a way that the feet should be turned towards Qiblah. Then the clothes are removed without uncovering the private parts and the body is bathed with lukewarm water.
If the dead (mayyit) was a person liable for performing Salâh, the person bathing the corpse cleanses the private parts with a piece of cloth, without uncovering them. The dead person should be given Wudhû without letting any water into the mouth and nostrils. However, if it is known that the dead person was in the state of Janâbah (major legal impurity), water is put into both the mouth and nostrils. If not, it is enough just to wipe the inner parts of the lips, the teeth, the nostrils and the navel.
The head and the beard is washed with soap and water. However, the hair is not combed. Then the corpse s placed on the left side and the right side is washed and then it is placed on the right side to wash the left side. Then the person bathing the corpse raises the upper body up, leaning it against himself and rubs the abdomen. If any excrement comes out, it is cleansed without any need for
renewing Wudhû. Lastly, the corpse is dried with a clean piece of cloth and wrapped in the shroud.
