Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the reward associated with washing the deceased? And is there a hadith regarding this?
Answer:
It is certain that washing the deceased carries a great reward, because he has fulfilled an obligation toward his deceased brother by washing him. In this lies the reward for implementing a ruling of the Shari'ah. Performing the washing of the deceased, burying him, making his shroud good, praying over him, seeing him off, and participating in his burial—this holds great virtue and great rewards for the Muslim.
