The Final Rites: Women's Workshop
Asalamu Alaikum Sisters,
Women's Workshop: The Final Rites
Bathing (Ghusl) and Shrouding (Kafan) of the deceased
Location: Hoda Center
Date/Time: Wednesday, March 6 at 6:30pm
For Women Only
Death is the return of the soul to its Creator. The bathing (ghusl) and shrouding (kafan) of the deceased will be presented in a Women's Workshop at the Hoda Center.
When a Muslim dies, it is the responsibility of his/her family or other Muslims within the local community to wash him/her according to the Islamic rites of washing the deceased. Usually at least three to four people will be involved with the actual ghusl (bathing/washing) and shrouding.
You may be nervous or scared to be involved in this process but it is truly a loving act, the last worldly thing you can do for a person you care about.
The person who may wash the deceased should be:
1. an adult Muslim (honest and trustworthy)
2. the same gender as the deceased (if the deceased is male, then ONLY males should wash him)
3. someone who knows the Islamic way to wash the deceased and be able to carry out the ghusl
4. in the state of ablution (wudhu)-recommended
Again, this is for women only. This will be a hands-on demonstration.
Jazakum Allah Kheir
