Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding starting with the right side of the deceased, some say: one starts with the right part from the front, then the left part from the front, and then turns the body over and washes the right side from the back. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : He is now lying on his back on the bed. We start with the right side. If he is lying on his back, we start with his right hand in its natural position. We start with the right side. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With the right side," and he did not say "with your right sides." Her right side is hers. We started with the right side. When we turn him over, we also start with the right side.
The questioner : We started from the right side... Do we turn him over and wash the right side from the back?
The Shaykh : Ah, do you mean that we complete the right side only once? No, we start with the right side, then the left side, facing the face of the deceased. Then we turn him over and start with the right side, then the left side.
