Law: If a Zimmiya was pregnant by a Muslim and she
died. If life has already come into the child, then she should be buried away
from the Muslim cemetery and in burying, her back should face Qibla, so that
the child’s face will be in the direction of the Qibla, because (generally)
when the child is in the stomach (womb) of the mother, it’s face is towards the
mothers back. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.805/806]
Note: Zimmi Kaafir is an
unbeliever in a Muslim state paying jizya, and a Zimmiya is a female unbeliever
living in a Muslim state.
Law: If the body of the Mayyit is in such a state
that if touched the skin will come off, then it should not be touched. Water
should be just passed over. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.157]
Law: If after performing Ghusl, cotton-wool is
placed in the nose, ears and mouth and other openings, there is no objection,
but it is better not to do this. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.157; Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1
pg.803]
Law: To comb the beard or the hair on the head of
the Mayyit or to clips the nails or to shave off, trim or pluck out hair from
anywhere is impermissible and Makruh-e-Tahreemi. The ruling is that he must be
buried in the condition in which he is. However, if the nail is broken, then
one can remove this. If the hair or nails were clipped (which is not allowed),
then this too must be kept in the Kafan. [Durr-e-Mukhtar; Alamgiri vol.1, pg.158;
Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg. 803]
Law: Both the hands of the deceased should be left
on the side and should not be kept on the chest, as this is the manner of the unbelievers.
[Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.803] In some places the manner is to place the hands
below the navel, like in Namaaz, this too should not be done.
Law: In some places it is the system to bring
unused buckets (vessels) etc. which will be used in Ghusl. There is no need for
this. Ghusl can also be given using the buckets and jugs of the house as well.
Some even behave ignorantly by breaking these vessels after they are used to
give Ghusl, This is impermissible and Haraam as it is wasting wealth. If one
does this thinking that they have now become najis (impure), then this too is
baseless, because firstly splashes do not really effect these vessels, and if
there are splashes, then the stronger view and inclination is towards this,
that Mayyit is given Ghusl to remove Najaasat e Hukmia (hidden impurity), so in
this case, Musta’mal (used) water has splashed and Musta’mal water is not
regarded as najis, just like with the Wudu and Ghusl water of the living. Even
if we assume that the drops that splashed are najis then the vessels should be
washed, as they will become paak (pure) by washing. In most places the vessels that
have been used are left in the Masjid. If this is done with the Niyyat that it
will cause ease to the Namaazis (worshippers) and the Mayyit will receive its
reward, then this is a good Niyyat (intention) and to keep it there is better.
If is kept (there) with the view that keeping it in the house is bad (luck),
then this is mere foolishness. Some people even throw away the water which is
in the bucket (etc). To do this is also Haraam.
