Is it recommended to hasten the preparation and burial of one who dies suddenly?
The Sunnah is to hasten the preparation and burial of the deceased, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Hasten with the Janazah." However, if a person dies suddenly, their preparation should not be rushed until their death is confirmed, as it could be a stroke or a coma. This is known by signs such as sunken temples, a tilted nose, and relaxed limbs.
