What is the ruling on the purity of water used in washing the deceased after it separates from them, and what are the implications of it touching clothes or the body?
The body of a deceased human and its parts are pure, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "You are not required to perform ghusl (ritual bath) yourselves after washing your deceased; for your deceased is not impure. It is sufficient for you to wash your hands." Accordingly, the water used in washing the deceased is pure, and it is not necessary to wash it off if it touches clothes or the body.
