Washing the deceased: those who said he is to be covered and not stripped

Ibrahim said: When the deceased is washed, a screen should be placed between him and the sky.

Ibn Awn said: Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) used to keep the deceased covered with great effort (as much as he could).

Al-Hasan said: There is no harm in a man being washed in an open place, but he disliked that the deceased be washed in that way.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ali that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was washed in a shirt.

Ayyub said: Abu Qilabah said to me: "Keep the deceased covered as much as you can."

It is narrated from Abdullah bin al-Harith that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) washed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and his shirt was on him (peace and blessings be upon him). In Sayyiduna Ali's (may Allah be pleased with him) hand was a piece of cloth with which he was washing him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would put his hand under the shirt and wash him, while the shirt was still on his body.

Ja'far narrates from his father that when the Companions intended to wash him, there was a shirt on his blessed body (peace and blessings be upon him). The Companions intended to take it off, and a (hidden) voice came from inside the house: "Do not take off the shirt."

Al-Dahhak said: "Do not strip me naked to wash me."
