Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man died in our neighborhood, and some of the people of the neighborhood gathered at his place, and one of the persons washed his body, and the people were watching, even his private parts, so what is your guidance for these people, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
It is disliked; it is obligatory to cover him. He should be washed behind a wall, or something that conceals him from the people. This is the Sunnah. It is not permissible to expose his private parts in front of people, or to expose his body in front of people; this is disliked. Yes.
