May One Recite The Qur’an In A Place Where A Corpse Is Present?

May one recite the Qur’an in a place where a corpse is present?

According to Hanafis, it is makruh to recite the Qur’an in the room where a corpse is present until it is washed. It is permissible to recite in another place. After the deceased is washed, the Qur’an may be recited near it as well (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, I, 173; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, III, 83-84). According to Shafi’is, it is makruh to recite Qur’an before burial (Ramli, Nihayat al-muhtaj, II, 438).
