Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Applying antimony to the eyes of the deceased or adding a mark of antimony on the forehead is not proven. It is a completely baseless act. However, whether the dead person is male or female, there is a command to apply camphor on both the hair or the beard and all the limbs used in the prayer, such as the nose, forehead, knees, etc. There is no evidence of planting antimony etc. Therefore, it would not be right to apply antimony or add signs. 6325233459
