Rules to follow after the death
547. 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 join 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.
