The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a mother to wash her dead child?
The Shaykh:
No. Men and women wash a child who is under seven years old. As for one who has reached seven, that is not the case; the male is washed by men, and the female is washed by women. Yes.

He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
