Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الجنائزBook: On the Explanation of Funerals
بَابُ غُسْلِ الْمَيِّتِChapter on washing the deceased
Hadith 521B1
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ: إِذَا مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهَا نِسَاءٌ يُغَسِّلْنَهَا ، وَلَا مِنْ ذَوِي الْمَحْرَمِ أَحَدٌ يَلِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا ، وَلَا زَوْجٌ يَلِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا يُمِّمَتْ فَمُسِحَ بِوَجْهِهَا وَكَفَّيْهَا مِنَ الصَّعِيدِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I heard from the people of knowledge, they used to say: When a woman dies and there are no women present to give her ghusl, nor any of her mahrams, nor her husband, then tayammum should be performed for her on her face and hands with earth.
