Janaazah
Making masah on the plaster of the deceased when giving him ghusl
Q: After ghusl was completed, it was discovered that a large plaster was on the buttocks of the deceased. Blood was visible on the plaster.
The Aalim present said the ghusl was done, and there is no need to remove the plaster and wash the area underneath, because if the plaster is removed, blood might come out. So it was left as-is.
When the body was being placed in the grave, it was seen that blood had come out from that area as it soaked that area of the kafn.
Was the ghusl was completed - was the Aalim correct?

Husband preventing his wife from going to her mother's funeral
Q: Can a husband prevent his wife from going to her mother's funeral?
His excuse is that because the janazah is delayed, they cannot attend the funeral according to shar'iah and his wife cannot go as it is incorrect. According to him (& nobody else), the mayyit made a wasiyat to be buried immediately.
Ghusl for a deceased who has fake hair and nails

Reusing a grave of a family member when there is space available in the graveyard
Q: Is it permissible to reuse a grave of a family member, burying the deceased at 4 feet deep, whereas the original deceased was buried at 6 feet deep? The remains of the first deceased (who passed away 3 years ago) would thus not be exposed.
There is however sufficient space available in the grave yard.
Performing janaazah salaah alone behind the congregation
Q: In order for a person's janaazah salaah to be valid, does he have to join the saff, or can he read it individually behind the congregation?
If he stands behind, and there is a large gap in between him and the saffs, will it be valid?
Sometimes, the janaazah salaah takes place in the musjid which I know is not allowed, can I then join from the wudhu khana which will be quite a distance behind the rest of the congregation?
