The questioner:
Specifically regarding the construction of a burial for a deceased person.
The Shaykh:
Never does pure water affect it, pure water, because the body of the deceased is pure. The deceased does not become ritually impure through death; his body is pure. It is not like the carcasses of animals; the carcasses of animals are ritually impure. But the corpse of a Muslim is pure. In fact, the corpse of a human being is pure, even the corpse of a disbeliever. A human being does not become ritually impure, whether alive or dead. Yes.
