The ruling on a menstruating woman washing a deceased woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. In this message, he asks about the ruling on a menstruating woman washing a deceased person whom she is permitted to wash. Is that permissible or not?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. A woman may wash a deceased woman even if she is menstruating, because her menstruation is not in her hands. The body of a menstruating woman, the body of a menstruating woman is pure, and praise be to Allah. Her body is pure, so it is permissible to touch her, and it is permissible for her to work, to be busy, and to cook food. It is permissible for her to do what a non-menstruating woman does. Yes.
