How to Wash a Body That Has Been Disfigured in an Accident

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The brother A.A.S. from Riyadh says in his question: How is the washing of a person who dies in an accident and whose body is disfigured, and some of whose parts may be severed, to be performed? We ask Allah for safety and well-being.

A: It is obligatory to wash him as others are washed, if that is possible. If it is not possible, he should be given tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth); because tayammum takes the place of washing with water when one is unable to do so. And success is from Allah.
