The Ruling on a Woman Washing the Bodies of Deceased Boys
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother asks and says: What is your opinion regarding a woman who is about seventy years old washing the bodies of boys and young children when they pass away?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it if they are under seven years old. There is no harm in a woman washing them if the boy is under seven; the woman may wash him, and the man may wash him. Likewise, a young girl under seven may be washed by both men and women. Once a male child reaches seven, men wash him, and once a female child reaches seven, women wash her. For those under seven, the matter is broad for both men and women. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good
