Ghusal

Q: My question is that, if nikah has terminated with the death of the husband then why can she still bath her deceased husband?

Q:

1. If in todays time, a Muslim man/woman murders someone intentionally, thereafter qisaas is not taken. When this murderer later dies in their life should their ghusl be made and should they be buried in a Muslim qabristaan?

2. If they are killed by the police should their ghusl be made and should they be buried in a Muslim qabristaan?

Q:

1. Can a spouse give ghusal to the deceased spouse be it male or female?

2. Can a spouse assist in burial like entering the grave etc.? 

3. What is the condition of nikkah once a spouse has passed away?

Q: When a woman is in her haidh, she is not supposed to go near a deceased person. However, what if someone's husband passed away and he passed away at such a place where there is no male to do his ghusl. His mahram women are with him (his mother and sister). His wife is also present there, however she is on her haidh. Who will get the preference of doing his ghusl? Should the mother do the ghusl or shall the wife do the ghusl?

Q: I read in an online fatwa that "In Faatawa Shaamiyah, it is stated that when bathing the mayyit, water should not be too hot as the mayyit also feels pain and is harmed just as the living."

Since this indicates that the mayyit is sensitive for temperatures, does it mean that he may also be harmed when his body is placed in the Mortuary Fridges, where the temperature is cold? Does his feeling end after burial, or will he also feel the cold earth, the insects physically biting him etc?

Q: If the deceased has nail polish on their nails, should the person giving the ghusal remove the nail polish? Similarly, if the deceased has hair extensions (human or non-human) attached to their hair, should the person giving the ghusal remove them?

Q:

1. Should itr and camphor be applied to the deceased?

2. Will itr be applied to a female deceased as it is applied to a male? If yes, then to which parts of the woman’s body will itr be applied?

3. Is it permissible to apply itr to the kafan?

Q:

1. In which direction should the deceased be placed while giving the ghusal?

2. After the ghusal, when the deceased is brought to the home before being taken for the Janaazah Salaah, in which position should the deceased be placed?

Q: Explain in detail the Shar’ee method of giving ghusal to a male or female deceased.

Q:

1. After giving the mayyit ghusl, it is reported in the hadith that itr should be applied to the head and beard, and camphor should be applied to the places of sajdah. In place of camphor, is it permissible to apply itr as we see some people nowadays applying itr?

2. We notice some people when applying itr to the knees of the mayyit, expose his knees and some even touch the knees with bare hands, is this correct?
