Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with truth, what is the reward associated with washing the deceased? And is there a hadith regarding this?
Answer:
There is no doubt that washing the deceased carries a great reward, because he has fulfilled an obligation toward his deceased brother by washing him. In that lies the reward for implementing a ruling of the Shari'ah. So, washing the deceased, shrouding him, doing well in his shrouding, praying over him, accompanying his funeral procession, and participating in his burial—this holds great virtue and great rewards for the Muslim.
