The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, said: “When the dying person passes away, his eyes should be closed, his mouth should be shut, his hands should be placed alongside his body, and his legs should be straightened if they are bent. His jaw should be tied with a cloth extending to the top of his head, and a cloth should be spread over him to cover his body.”
