[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "When a woman dies and they want to wash her, they should start with her abdomen and wipe her abdomen gently, unless she is pregnant, in which case they should not move her. If you want to wash her, start with her lower body, then throw a cloth over her private parts and wash her, washing her well. Then put your hand under the cloth and wipe her three times with a cloth, wiping her well before you wash her. Then wash her with water containing sidr, and let the water drain from her while she is standing, without tilting her to one side, until she is clean with sidr. The woman who washes her should be the first of the women to wash her, and if not, a virtuous Muslim woman. If she is young or weak, have another virtuous Muslim woman wash her. When she finishes washing her lower body, she should wash her with clean water and sidr, and then perform the ritual ablution for prayer. This is how her ablution is done, then wash her three times with water and sidr, starting with her head before anything else, and clean it of sidr with water. Don't comb her hair, because if anything happens to it after the three washes, make them five. If something happens in the fifth wash, make them seven. All of this should be with water and sidr. If it happens in the fifth or third wash, add some camphor and sidr to it, then put it in a new basin. Then sit her down and pour water on her, starting with her head until you reach her feet. When you finish, throw a clean cloth over her, then put your hand behind the cloth and remove it from her. Then stuff her lower body with as much sidr as you can, and stuff her upper body with sidr, then tie a long washed cloth around her waist, like a belt. Then tie it between her thighs and squeeze her thighs, then move the end of the belt from her waist to near her knees. This is how her lower body is prepared. Then perfume her, shroud her, and wrap her hair in three separate pieces, two on each side, and do not make her resemble a man. Let her shroud be made of five pieces, one of them is the izar, which is wrapped around her waist. Do not shake any of her hair with any type of pilled cloth. If it appears to you that she should be shrouded in her burial shroud, make it into a single piece. This is how her shroud and head should be. If she is restricted or bound or similar, take a single piece of cloth and immerse it in water, and follow everything with it, but do not move it, for I fear that something might escape from it that cannot be returned."
