A 3:
The washing of the dead body is to perform Istinja' (cleansing the private parts with water after urination or defecation) for them to remove any found secretions, then a complete ablution should be performed like that done before Salah (Prayer), the head should be washed with water mixed with the leaves of Sidr (lote tree) or (Part No. 7; Page No. 235) any other cleaning substances. Water should be poured over the whole body to overwhelm it all, this is obligatory only once, but it is Mustahab (desirable) to do it three times until the dead body is purified, otherwise they must be washed until they become clean.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
