الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ فِي السَّفَرِ أَوْ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا النِّسَاءُ قَالَ يُدْفَنُ وَ لَا يُغَسَّلُ وَ قَالَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَكُونُ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ مَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَلْيُغَسِّلْهَا مِنْ فَوْقِ الدِّرْعِ وَ يَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ سَكْباً وَ لْتُغَسِّلْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ إِذَا مَاتَ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ لَيْسَتْ مِثْلَ الرَّجُلِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَسْوَأُ مَنْظَراً حِينَ تَمُوتُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Dawood Bin Sirham, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the man who dies during the journey, or in a land, (where) there being no one with him except for the women. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should be buried and not washed’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said regarding the woman who happens to be with the men to be at that very status, except that if there happens to be her husband with her. So if her husband was with her, so let him wash her from above the shirt, and the water to be poured with a pouring; and let his wife wash him when he dies, and the women are not like the men. The woman is an evil sight when she is dying’.
