Is it permissible for a man to wash his wife?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: His wife, and what about bathing her? As long as she is dead, because the bathroom in the custom of people today is for the living, not for the dead. So if you know that it is permissible for a man to wash his wife after she has died, then it is permissible for the sake of your heart to bathe her while she is alive, is that right?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: Yes, other than that.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: May Allah protect you, peace be upon you.
