The ruling on a wife greeting her deceased husband after he has been washed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman’s husband passed away, and she greeted him after he was washed and shrouded. She asks: Is that permissible?
Answer:
The prescribed practice is for her to pray over him at his funeral; this is what is prescribed. She should also make du'a' for him. As for greeting him and shaking his hand, I do not recall this being transmitted. She should pray over him, either alone or with the other people praying over him. Yes.
