(1) His statement: "And clothed him in his shirt." Al-'Allamah Al-'Ayni said in Umdat al-Qari: "This indicates that shrouding in a shirt is permissible. It also shows that it is permissible to remove a deceased person from the grave if there is a need or benefit. Blowing saliva is also mentioned." Al-Karmani said: "If the earth has been leveled over him, it is too late to remove him." Ibn Wahb said: "If the earth has been poured over him, it is too late to remove him, and he should be prayed over in his grave." Ashhab said the same.
