Is there a requirement for order in washing the deceased?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 3: Is there a requirement for order in washing the deceased? And if there is no order, does that result in any consequence?
A 3: The manner of washing the deceased is to remove the impurity from the orifices, then to perform wudu' as for prayer, then to wash his head with water and suds, or
other cleansing agents, then to pour water over his body until it covers it all. It is obligatory to do this once, and it is recommended to do it three times if that cleanses him; otherwise, the washing is increased until he is clean. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
