951. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: “We were with the Messenger of Allāh on a journey when he saw a man fall from his camel, his neck was broken and he died, and he was a Muḥrim. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Wash him with water and Sidr, and shroud him in his garments, and do
not cover his head. For indeed he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement saying the Talbiyah.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. [This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge.] It is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that when the Muḥrim dies his Iḥrām ends, and what is to be done with a non-Muḥrim is what is to be done with him.

Commentary
On the basis of this narration, Imām Ash-Shāfi‘ī Imām Aḥmad, Ishāq and Az-Zāhriyyah all say that after the death of a Muḥrim the deceased remains in the state of Iḥrām, therefore, his head should not be covered, and no perfume should be sprinkled on his body or coffin. This is the correct view that emerges from the narration.
