The ruling on washing and shrouding a person whose body has been torn apart
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is now a person whom Allah has taken, and his body is torn into pieces. Should he be washed and shrouded, and should the funeral prayer be performed over him without washing? I ask for clarification, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
He is washed. The parts are gathered together and water is poured over them; this is his washing. Water is poured over them, yes. And this detail is left for when you prepare him, and it is said to you: he is shrouded and the prayer is performed over him, and repentance is sought for him, yes.
