Is it permissible for a man whose adult daughter has passed away to wash her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A man does not wash a woman, nor does a woman wash a man, unless there is a necessity for it. For example, if there is no woman available to wash the deceased female, then it is permissible for a male mahram to wash her, with her clothes on, by pouring water over her.
