    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 330/297/B=1432)

    This process is also lawful. But it is better to, as soon as the soul leaves the body, turn the head towards north and the leg towards south. You should study Bahishti Zewar to know the details of Shariah rulings. It is a remarkable book in Urdu.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
