Fathwa, - It Is not Disliked to Leave the Deceased alone in the House before the Burial

Question
An individual died at about 6pm but among his last requests was tonot
place him in a refrigerator. So should someone sleep beside him in the
room or should we leave him alone ?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His slave and messenger.
Some scholars disliked leaving the deceased alone in a house. Among
them are some Hanbali scholars like Imaam Al-Bohooti who statedthat
Imaam Al'aajorri adopted the opinion thatit is not approved to leave
the deceased who died in the evening alone. Rather, his family should
stay with him.
Ibraaheem An-Nakh'i said: " Our righteous ancestors did not use to
leave the deceased alone,fearing that Satan may play with him . "
However, there are no proofs from the Quran or Sunnah supporting this view.
So, if they chose to remain with him, then they are not obliged to do
any particular thing.
Allaah Knows best.
