Hadith 432
۞
Hadith.433 - The Imam was asked about a Muslim man who dies while traveling, with no other Muslim men present but with a group of Christian men and two Muslim women (his paternal aunt and maternal aunt). How should his washing be performed?
Imam (as) replied: "His paternal aunt and maternal aunt should wash him while he is in his shirt, and the Christian men should not approach him”.
Similarly, he was asked about a Muslim woman who dies while traveling, with no Muslim women present but accompanied by Christian women, along with her Muslim paternal uncle and maternal uncle.
The Imam said: "Her uncles should wash her, but the Christian women should not approach her. She should wear a protective garment, and water should be poured over the garment."
