Question
What are the rules regarding facing the Mayyit towards the Qiblah during Ghusl?
Answer
The mayyit’s feet could be in the direction of qiblah. Another method is to lay the body lengthwise with the right shoulder of the mayyit to the Qiblah.
If for some reason it is difficult to adopt these positions, then any position may be adopted.
