How is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) performed for a deceased person if washing them is not possible? Does the one performing the washing strike the earth with their hand, or with the deceased’s hand?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that if washing a deceased person is not possible, they perform tayammum. He asks: Does the one performing the washing strike the earth with their hand, or with the deceased’s hand?

Answer:
No, not the deceased. And striking the earth requires an intention, and the deceased has no intention. The living person strikes the earth with their hand and wipes the deceased’s face and palms on their behalf.
