Packing the rear passage of the deceased, and what they feared may come from it

Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata: Shall we place cotton on him? He said: Yes. I said: Is this so that nothing (impure) comes out of him? He said: Yes.

Ibrahim said: Every place on the deceased from which something (impurity) is feared to come out is to be stuffed (with cotton).

Al-Hasan said: The deceased's anus, ears and nose are to be stuffed (with cotton).

Al-Rabi' said: I heard Ibn Sirin say: The anus, mouth and nostrils of the deceased are to be stuffed with cotton. And Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) said: Whatever you have to handle at his anus (whatever has to be placed there), handle it with your left hand.

Jabir bin Zayd said: If it is feared that something will come out of the openings of the deceased, the openings of his body and his ears should be blocked with cotton.
