Ibn Majah

1؎ : From this hadith it is established that a woman can give her husband a ritual bath (ghusl), because the wife is a confidante (mahrem-e-raaz), and there is no concealment of the private parts (satr) from her. Therefore, her giving the ritual bath to her husband is more appropriate and better than others doing so. Furthermore, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu was given the ritual bath by his wife Asma bint Umays radi Allahu anha, and none of the Companions objected to this. This ruling is also agreed upon (ittifaqi). Moreover, Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha radi Allahu anha expressed regret at not being able to give the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the ritual bath; if this were not permissible, she would not have expressed such regret, as Imam Bayhaqi states: «فتلهفت على ذلك ولا يتلهف إلا على ما يجوز».
