How Many Washes Are Sufficient for the Deceased?

Mention was made to Ibrahim about giving ghusl (ritual washing) to a deceased person, so he said: In the same manner as a person in a state of janabah performs ghusl.

11240 - Waki‘ narrated to us from Abu (al-Mu‘tamar) (1) from Qatadah who said: The house suffices in washing (just) as it suffices for the junub.

Hazrat Bakr says that I came to Madinah Tayyibah and asked about the bathing of the deceased. Some people said: Bathe the deceased just as a bride is bathed, except that saffron perfume should not be applied to him.
