Anointing the entire body of the deceased according to his status

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is anointing the entire body of the deceased done according to his status? For example, if one of the scholars dies, we anoint his entire body, but if he is not a scholar, we do not?

Answer:
Every Muslim has a right; every Muslim is honored and respected, even if he is not a scholar. If his entire body is anointed, that is better, even if he is not a scholar, because he is a Muslim and has the right to be honored.
