Faraaidh of Ghusal for the mayyit

· 28 Jumada I 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Are the same three things farz in the ghusl of the mayyit, wet the mouth, nose and rinse the whole body once?

Answer

No. Gargling the mouth and rinsing the nose is not fardh when giving ghusal to the mayyit except in the case where it is known that the mayyit passed away in the state of janaabat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
