Best of you

12. "The best of your garments are those which are white; shroud your dead in them and clothe your living with them. The best of that which you apply to your eyelids is antimony causing the eyelashes to grow and sharpening the eyesight." [Ibn Hibbân, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

23. ‘Ali ibn Zaid mentioned, “A man of the Quraysh spoke harshly to the Caliph `Umar Ibn ‘Abdul ‘Aziz who remained silent for a long time and then said, “You wish that the devil rouses in me the pride of the Caliphate and I treat you so rudely that you can take revenge tomorrow (in the Afterlife) on me.”

There is no harm in the Husband washing his wife

 


Question:

Verily, we have often heard from the common people that the wife is forbidden to her husband after death, meaning after her death. They say that it is not permissible for him to look at her nor is he allowed to put her into her place in the grave. Is this correct? Please answer us, and may Allah bless you.
Answer:

The legislative proofs of Islam prove that there is no harm in the woman washing her husband (after death) and looking at him, and there is no harm in the husband washing his wife and looking at her. Asma' bint Umays washed her husband Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, and Fatimah willed that 'Ali (her husband) wash her (upon her death) (may Allah be pleased with them). And Allah is the Giver of success.
