What is the ruling regarding a severed human leg, and is it preferable to bury it with its owner upon his death?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A detached leg from a living body does not have the ruling of a deceased person; rather, it has the ruling of what separates from a human body. It is requested to bury it out of respect and honor for the human. It is not prescribed to wash it, pray over it, or accompany its funeral, nor to keep it to be buried with its owner upon his death.
