And whoever touches a piece of the body of a dead human devoured by animals; if he has touched a bone, he must perform ghusl (ritual purification), but if there is no bone present, there is no obligation for ghusl. And whoever touches a dead creature must wash his hands, but he is not required to perform the wash of touching; this obligation applies only to humans. If someone touches a dead person before they have cooled (while their body is still warm), they are not required to perform ghusl. However, if they touch them after the body has cooled, they must perform ghusl. If the person is touched after the deceased has been washed (ritually purified), there is no ghusl required.
