Question
Is it better for a man to be washed (after death) by his wife or by other men?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.It is OK for a woman to wash her husband if she is knows how to do
that. ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) washed his wife Faatimah
(may Allaah be pleased with her), and Asmaa bint ‘Umays washed her husband
Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him).
