Identifying the body of a Muslim woman
Question
How one can we identify a dead womans body if she was a Muslim or kafir woman?
Answer
If there are any signs of Islam on her then you will count her as a Muslim, for example she applied mehndi or she was wearing an Islamic garb.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
