How must the Deceased be Laid Down after Death and when Bathing?

Q: Janaa'iz-52: How must the deceased be laid down when the soul leaves the body and when bathing?

Answer: When the soul departs, the deceased should be laid on the side towards which he will be facing in the grave. The same should be done when the body is bathed. However, if this is inconvenient, he may be laid in a position that is convenient. If the feet are facing towards the Qibla when the bath is given, then it will be correct to raise the head slightly so that the face looks towards Qibla. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
