Ghusal

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?

Q: I would like to find out the ruling regarding ghusl for a deceased who has fake hair and nails. Sometimes it takes close to 3 hours to remove all products because of the glue used or to remove the fake hair by opening all plaits. Should ghusl be delayed?

Q: Is the body of the deceased, before giving ghusl, regarded as paak or napaak i.e. is the deceased body treated like a person in the state of hadath (i.e. if the water which touches the deceased’s body comes on to the person giving ghusl, the water will not be regarded as napaak and impure) or is the actual body of the deceased treated as something impure like an animal which dies a natural death is treated as impure (i.e. if the water which touches the deceased’s body comes on to the person giving ghusl, the water will be regarded as napaak and the person will have to cleanse his body of that water)?

Q: When a person passes away, whilst awaiting the burial committee, that means before the Ghusl is performed, can a person read Surah Yaseen or Quraan etc. by the body?

Q:

1. Who should participate in the ghusl of a deceased person? Should it be done by the experienced people of the burial society, or should the relatives do it? What does the Sharia and Sunnat prefer?

2. A person gives a directive while living that his children should not do his ghusl because it will be an emotional/traumatizing experience for them and it is better done by strangers. Is this thinking correct?

Q: If a person suffering from coronavirus dies, it is said that he shouldn't be given ghusal. Instead, he should be wrapped in a sheet and burried. The doctors say that giving ghusal increases the chances of spread of virus. What does shariat command us?
