Is it recommended to place an iron bar or something heavy on the deceased's abdomen?

The jurists recommended placing an iron object on the deceased's abdomen to prevent bloating, citing an attribution to Anas ibn Malik and arguing that it prevents the abdomen from swelling.

However, Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen holds that this view is questionable, and that an iron object does not prevent bloating. He also states that the attribution to Anas is weak and unproven, and that the Companions did not practice this. He adds that the need for this has ceased in our era due to the availability of refrigerators, which prevent bloating if burial is delayed, emphasizing that placing an iron object on the deceased's abdomen is not from the Sunnah.
