The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man died in an accident, and his leg was cut off and lost. After he was buried, it was found. So, is it washed on its own, or…?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is washed and that is sufficient. So, the leg is washed, shrouded, and buried. It is buried in a separate grave.
The questioner:
And if it is buried on its own, is a niche made for it or not?
The Shaykh:
A grave is dug for it. And it means it is protected from dogs digging it up. This is sufficient. It is washed and shrouded, wrapped in the shroud. Yes.
