Subject: Re: Husband bath the wife's dead body Author: Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:23:02 01/21/03 Tue Author Host/IP: dhcp024-210-181-243.woh.rr.com/24.210.181.243 In reply to: Dede Zulkiram 's message, "Husband bath the wife's dead body" on 06:25:02 01/21/03 Tue As Salaamu Alaikoum, Praise be to Allah. There is nothing wrong with the man washing the body of his wife: Ali washed the body of Fatima [Recorded by ad-Daraqutni and Al-Baihaqi] The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to 'Aishah: "If you die before me, I will myself wash you and enshroud you." [Ibn Majah records this hadith] In regards to commemorating a persons death, this is not only innovation but Shirk. The Prophet(saw) never did such as thing and he buried his own daughters and many of his companions. Putting cotton in nose and throat is not from the sunnah. We should be washed and buried in accordance to the Sunnah not the kaafir. Building structures over graves and putting names is also bidah: Jabir reported: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade the whitewashing of a grave, sitting on it, or erecting any structure on it." (Reported by Ahmad, Muslim, Nasa'i, Abu Daw'ud, and Tirmizhi who said that it is a sound hadith) Tirmizhi reported this hadith with this wording: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade the whitewashing of graves, writing on them, building on them, or stepping on them." Nasa'i, reported it in these words: "The Prophet, peace be upon, forbade building over a grave, adding anything to it, white washing it, or writing on it." AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
