Is any procedure applied for the deceased when it is realized afterwards that it was not buried towards the qiblah?
It is sunnah to place the corpse in his/her grave on his/her right side, with his/her face towards the qiblah. But a corpse that was buried towards another direction other than the qiblah unknowingly should be left as it is . Because it is not permissible to unearth a grave without a legitimate excuse (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, III, 146).
