Is there anyone who is prevented from entering upon the deceased?

Some scholars have recommended that, at the time of a person's death, they should be dressed in clean clothes, and any unpleasant odors around them should be removed. Their family members should also be in a state of ritual purity (tahir). Furthermore, a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), a menstruating woman (ha'id), a woman in postpartum bleeding (nifas (definition)), or anyone with unpleasant odors, such as from smoke, should not enter upon the dying person. This is in preparation for the arrival of the angels of mercy. Al-Qurtubi, in his exegesis of the verse {the angels descend upon them} (41:30), mentioned that angels descend at the time of death to give glad tidings of Paradise. In the Sunan of Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i, it is reported: "Indeed, the angels do not enter a house in which there is a person in a state of ritual impurity (junub)." It is also narrated from Ibn Abi Shaybah that they used to remove menstruating women when a man was dying, and that angels are bothered by unpleasant odors, images (tasawir), and dogs. This is on the basis of recommendation (istihbab). However, it has been narrated from some of the Salaf, such as Imam Malik, that there is no harm if a menstruating woman or a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) closes the eyes of the deceased.
