Is it permissible to store a man's sperm, and is it permissible for his wife to use it for artificial insemination after his death?

Insemination with the husband's sperm after his death is prohibited, whether during the ' (waiting period) or after it; because the marital bond is severed by death. As for the permissibility of washing the deceased, it is not proof of the continuation of the marital bond.
