Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

After the death of a person, his bath, shroud, janaza and burial should be performed as soon as possible. This has been specially emphasized in the Hadith. And it is desirable to inform the close relatives, friends and neighbors of the deceased about his death. So that they can participate in the janaza. However, it is not appropriate to delay the burial of the deceased in the presence of any relative or to show them. Especially in today's society, no matter how far away the relatives are, bathing, shrouding is delayed for hours, even day after day, waiting to show the face of the dead - which is not lawful at all. 5893779298
