Question
Here in Australia, when the deceased is placed in the grave, only the head is turned towards the Qiblah. Is this correct?
Answer
No, it is not correct. It is incumbent to turn the whole body towards the Qiblah. In the Lahd (the incision in the Qiblah wall of the grave), the body has to be turned onto its right side to face the Qibah.
