Reports on what suffices in washing the deceased

The washing of the deceased was mentioned in the presence of Ibrahim, and the people said: "Just as a man in a state of major impurity (janabah) takes a bath."

Qatadah said: For the deceased, in washing, what suffices is what suffices for a person in a state of major impurity (janabah).

Bakr said: I came to Madinah and asked about washing the deceased. Some people said: "Wash the deceased as a bride is washed, except that he is not to be perfumed with saffron perfume (khaluq)."
