Janaazah

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: Is everyone buried in Jannatul Baqee an automatic Jannati? 

Were the hypocrites from the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) also buried in Jannatul Baqi?

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.

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 it permissible for a son in law to bury his mother in law who only has daughters?

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.

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?

Q: Will the people of the grave know what will be happening on the earth?

Q: If someone makes a bequest that his body should be washed with Zamzam when he is being given ghusl, is this permissible?

Q: If a person is murdered during a hijacking (shot and died immediately), should he be given ghusal or will he not be given ghusal as a shaheed? 

Our books say he is a shaheed and should not be given ghusal but in our societies, we normally give him a ghusal. Are we making a mistake?
