تُغَسِّلُهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَوْ ذَاتُ قَرَابَةٍ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ وَ تَصُبُّ النِّسَاءُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ صَبّاً وَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا مَاتَتْ يُدْخِلُ زَوْجُهَا يَدَهُ تَحْتَ قَمِيصِهَا فَيُغَسِّلُهَا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having been asked about the man who is dying and there is no one in his presence to wash him except for the women. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His wife should wash him, or a near relative if there was one for him, and the women would pour water over him with a pouring, and regarding the woman, when she dies, her husband would insert his hand under her shirt, so he would wash her’.
