Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding more than the washer and the assistant being present, I have forbidden commenting on whether it is permissible?
The Shaykh : For the sake of teaching, meaning the one who is present does not know?
The questioner : The people of the place, for example in a village, find a door where there is a deceased person, so they wash him, and they gather so that they can learn. A stone.
The Shaykh : This is disliked because the teaching here is not related to this specific deceased person. And teaching can be described by a person outside of this time. Whether this application is done by bringing a body and washing it in front of people, or by describing it. Many students of knowledge only learned the principles through description, not by witnessing the practice. Yes.
