when Grand-mother died, Q1) elders in my home, laid the body, as legs facing Qibla, is it right way? Q2) Tell me a book ( in English / Urdu), which lay a body after death, to perform ghusl for the body and procedure to kafan it according Hanafi?
Answer
(Fatwa: 330/297/B=1432)
This process is also lawful. But it is better to, as soon as the soul leaves the body, turn the head towards north and the leg towards south. You should study Bahishti Zewar to know the details of Shariah rulings. It is a remarkable book in Urdu.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
