Is it permissible for a man whose adult daughter has passed away to wash her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A man does not wash a woman, nor does a woman wash a man, unless there is a necessity for it. For example, if there is no woman available to wash the deceased female, then it is permissible for a male to wash her, with her clothes on, by pouring water over her.
