The is to pray over whatever remains of the deceased's body, as the Companions like Abu Ubaidah, Abu Ayyub, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) did, for they prayed over heads, a leg, and bones. Some scholars have held the permissibility of praying over such as a hand or a leg, and this is the more correct opinion.
