The ruling on washing the deceased's clothes before giving them in charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter was sent by the listener Idris Ibrahim Awadh from Libya. Our brother is asking about an issue that has been circulating among the common people, which is: that it is obligatory to wash all of the deceased's clothes and give them in charity. What is your guidance, Your Eminence?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no evidence for this. One should give them in charity, even if they are not washed, unless there is ritual impurity in them, in which case they should be washed. As for if there is no ritual impurity in them, if they wash them for the benefit of the poor person, may Allah reward them with good. And if they give them in charity without washing them, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
