Summary
A body of a person who died in a state of menstruation, postnatal bleeding or ritual impurity needs to be washed only once. The fatwa cites al-Nawawi in al-Majmu' stating that this is the Shafii position and the view of all scholars except al-Hasan al-Basri, who held that two washings are required. Two major impurities are also covered by a single intention and a single bath.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang yang meninggal dunia dalam keadaan haid, nifas mahupun yang sedang berhadas hanya memadai sekali sahaja memandikan jenazah.
