Ibrahim said: If a woman dies among men and there is no woman with them, she is to be washed by pouring water over her clothes.

Nafi' said: I asked Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd: If a woman dies among men and there is no woman with them, what is the ruling? She said: Tayammum is to be done for her, then she is to be buried in her clothes.

Ata was asked about a woman who dies among men. He said: Tayammum is to be done for her and then she is to be buried in those same clothes; and the same ruling applies to a man (if he dies among women).

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: When a woman dies among men and there is no woman with them, the men are to do tayammum for her with earth and not wash her; and if a man dies among women, the same is to be done.

Hammad said: Tayammum is to be done for her with clean earth, and the ruling for a man is the same.

Abu Salamah was asked: What if a man dies among women? He said: His wife should wash him; and if his wife is not there, tayammum is to be done for him. And if a woman dies among men and there is no woman with them, her husband should wash her; and if her husband is not there either, women from the People of the Book are to pour water over her and wash her.

Ata said about a woman who dies among men: The men are to pour water over her and then bury her; and if a man dies among women, the women are to pour water over him and bury him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said about a woman who dies among men: She is to be immersed in water.
