3. Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from some of his companions, from Al-Fadl ibn Yunus, who said: "I asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about the method of carrying a bier (funeral procession). He said: 'If you are in a situation of taqiyya, start with the right hand, then the right foot, then return from your place to the right side of the deceased. Do not pass behind his feet at all until you face the bier again and take his left hand, then his left foot, then return from your place and do not pass behind the bier at all until you face it again, doing as you did before. If you are not in a situation where you need to practice taqiyya, the proper way according to the Sunnah for carrying the bier is to start with the right hand, then the right foot, then the left foot, then the left hand, making a complete circle around it.'"
