Is the clay applied to the head of a deceased pilgrim removed when he is washed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the clay washed off the head of the deceased due to the generality of His saying , or is it left because he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection while still in the state of talbiyah?
The Shaykh : It is not left, because it does not prevent washing the head. It is washed while the clay is on it.
The questioner : Does it not come off, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The apparent ruling differs. The apparent ruling is that it differs, but the Messenger of Allah did not order the removal of the clay; he ordered it to be washed.
So wash him
