Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A professor at the university teaches us the book on funerals. He said that for the activity grades, whoever wants to obtain them should go to the place where the dead are washed and wash a number of the dead to get these grades. His question is: Is it permissible to take a fee or grades for washing the dead and for acts of devotion?
Answer:
Mention this to the university director and see how he handles it. Yes. This is not how a teacher should act, forcing students to go and wash the dead? Yes.
