The Ruling on Not Uncovering a Woman's Face When She is Placed in the Grave

Question
A woman passed away a few days ago, and when they placed her in the grave, they untied the bindings but did not uncover her face. Are they sinful for this action?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: They do not have to uncover the face; there is no sin in leaving it covered, and God knows best.
