If a person made a condition and then died, is his head covered, is he embalmed, and is he washed with water, sidr, and perfume?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, in a past lesson, it was stated that it is better not to make a condition, because he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection while reciting the talbiyah. Does this mean that if a person makes a condition and then dies, his head is covered, he is embalmed, and he is washed with water, sidr, and perfume? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes, we mentioned previously that making a condition is prescribed for whom? For whom? For the one who fears that he will not complete his rites. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make a condition. He permitted Lubaydah bint al-Zubayr to make a condition, but if he makes a condition and says, "My place of exit is where I am detained," and then dies, the state of ihram is broken, because he himself made a condition for himself that his place of exit is where he is detained. Accordingly, his head and face are covered, he is perfumed, and everything is done.

The questioner : The questioner says:

The Shaykh : If someone says, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask about the man who died whether he had made a condition or not," the answer is that the default is not to make a condition, so the ruling is based on the default. Yes.
