Looking at the deceased woman before burial by non-mahrams

Question
What is the ruling on the brothers of the deceased husband bidding farewell to their brother's deceased wife by looking at her, reciting Al-Fatiha, and praying for her before she is taken out for burial?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to bid farewell to them if it does not lead to temptation, provided that the gaze is limited to the face along with supplication and the recitation of Al-Fatiha, and God knows best.
