Washing the Husband’s Wife and the Etiquette of the Washers

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does the husband wash his wife if she dies? And what do you advise the washers of the dead, since some of the washers, both men and women, mention the state of the deceased in terms of joy, happiness, or frowning?

Answer:
Washing the dead carries a great reward, but the washer must know the rulings of washing; he must not be ignorant of them. He must know the rulings of washing and learn them so that he masters the washing of the deceased. Also, it is not permissible for him to report what he sees of the deceased’s state, whether good or bad. He must cover it up. This is a trust. He covers up for his brother, , yes.
