Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A mortuary worker was brought a Sunni man with his Rafidah mother to be washed, so the worker refused to wash her. The woman’s son took the matter to the regional governor. This worker asks how he should handle such a case in the future, and if someone who is known not to pray is brought to him, should he wash him or not?
Answer:
They are obligated to wash. I say he is not obligated to wash everyone who is brought to him; he may refrain from washing some people. Yes.
