Maliks Muwatta Book 20, Hadith Number 14.

Section : Veiling the Face while in Ihram.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar shrouded his son Waqid ibn Abdullah, who had died at al-Juhfa while in ihram, and he veiled his head and face and said, “If we had not been in ihram we would have perfumed him.”

Malik said, “A man can only do things while he is alive. When he is dead, his actions stop.”
