What should be done with a limb amputated from a living person who has not died: should it be washed, prayed over, and buried?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The limb severed from a living person is neither washed nor prayed over. Rather, it is wrapped in a cloth and buried in a graveyard or in good earth far from desecration, especially if a graveyard is not nearby.
