ثُمَّ يُهَالُ التُّرَابُ عَلَيْهِ
Translation: Then earth is poured over it.
Yuhal means earth is cast into the grave. Once the lahd is closed, the main pit is filled. The order first safeguards the body, then restores the earth above it.
Participants may contribute handfuls of earth; transmitted etiquette also mentions three handfuls, without making that number a condition of burial.
