Washing the deceased is among the best acts of drawing closer to Allah. The washer's observation of marks on the deceased does not indicate the existence of a trust that must be concealed. However, it is more cautious not to rush to report everything seen, to avoid discord and corruption. Therefore, the mother should refrain from speaking about such matters, and the father should keep what he heard confidential.
