Is it permissible for a man to wash his deceased mother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a man to wash his mother or his daughter, nor is it permissible for them to wash him. Women are washed by women, and men are washed by men. An exception to this is made for spouses, as it is permissible for either of them to wash the other.
