Question

I would like to know that after exhuming a body, does the Ghusl and Janaazah salaah have to be repeated?

Answer

There is no repetition of the Janaazah Salaah once the Salaah has been performed. Hence, in the questioned scenario, there is no need for another Janaazah Salaah. Similarly, there is no need to repeat the Ghusl.
