Giving ghusal to the deceased before making ghusal for haidh
Question
When my grandmother passed away, I gave her ghusal along with other women. But when she died, at that time my menstruation was completed (7 days) but I didn't take a bath after period. Is it a sin and was her ghusal incomplete because of me?
Answer
The ghusl is valid but it is not appropriate to be administering the ghusl in this state.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
