The answer

The first [point] is that the deceased should be buried directly without a coffin, unless there is a need for it, such as preserving the body. This is because burial in coffins is disliked and goes against the practice of the Prophet and the predecessors. What the living do with the deceased after their death does not affect their state. It is recommended to seek forgiveness for them and give charity on their behalf.
