As muslims prepare to begin the tradition of ritual washing and shrouding, we reflect on the preparation of the deceased. The rituals and procedures before and after death are many and varied. But regardless, all bodies must be washed in accordance with Islamic law. In this post, we will discuss how to wash a body using traditional or modern methods – water or special soap – as well as other specific tasks that must be done to prepare a body for burial. The type of washing and shrouding the deceased will be based on Islamic rulings. The preparation will also depend on whether the deceased had been ill or if there is a danger of contamination of the body by insects and animals. As soon as death has occurred, the first task performed by those who prepared to wash and shroud the deceased is to declare that he or she has died. This is an important issue, as some religious authorities believe that it is not permissible for anyone to wash a person who might still be alive (if competent) even if no danger of death remains. The body is washed in the place where the deceased is lying. It is washed in a certain sequence. It is sunnah to wash the body with water mixed with some camphor or with camphor soap. It is necessary to clean the body of any impurities that may have come into contact with it, such as dirt, filth or urine, for example. If there are wounds on the body which have become septic, they may be washed with water and soap so long as washing does not exacerbate them - in which case they should be left alone in accordance with Islamic law. The place of washing should be clean in accordance with Islamic law. If the deceased had become seriously ill during his or her lifetime, his or her body may be washed in the place where he or she had been lying. Otherwise, the body is to be constructed in a special place that is clean and appropriate for washing. The person performing the ritual washing of the deceased must first remove his or her shoes before touching any part of the deceased's body. The washing is done by pouring water with one's hands onto any part of the body, most importantly onto the forehead, nose, face and palms. This act of pouring water over these parts washes off all dirt and impurities from them. Ideally, water should be poured over the body from the top to the bottom. After washing, it is necessary to dry the body using a clean towel or other clean cloth. If it becomes necessary, one must dry oneself before wiping dry any part of the body that may have been wet - for example, under the armpits. If there are no other towels available and if time permits, then one should wrap a hand towel around one's entire body so as to thoroughly dry oneself while drying off the deceased's body too. cfa1e77820
