Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is taking from the deceased’s beard and fingernails done before washing the body, or after it is washed?
Answer:
Before washing the body, yes, or after washing the body; it is all the same. In fact, some scholars say no, nothing is taken from him, even if it is long; it is left as is. There is no evidence for this.
