How to Position a Dying Person
Issue No.508- A Muslim who is dying, whether a man or a woman, old or young, should, as an obligatory precaution, be laid on his/her back, in such a manner that the soles of the feet face the Qibla. And if it is not possible for him to be laid completely in the said manner, they should, as an obligatory precaution, act upon this instruction to the extent possible. However, if this is not possible, he should be seated facing the Qibla, and if this is not possible either, he should be laid on either his right or left side with his front towards the Qibla.
