The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to write in his will that so-and-so should not wash his body, and that he should not attend his funeral, because he had harmed him in this world?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. This world has ended, and he is required to forgive and pardon. Yes.

As for bequeathing that so-and-so should pray over him because of his virtue, there is nothing wrong with that. Bequeathing that so-and-so should wash him or pray over him because of his virtue and his knowledge of the rulings of washing the body, there is nothing wrong with that.
