Causing trouble to the deceased at the time of Ghusl

Similarly, at the time of giving Ghusl, due to lack of knowledge or having unnecessary fear of the dead body no family member of the deceased gets ready to give Ghusl. Then the person who does not know about Sunnahs and manners gets ready and gives Ghusl to the deceased very harshly, though while giving Ghusl to the deceased one should take great precautions and be very gentle. Sayyiduna Sufyan Sawri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated that the deceased knows everything; he even says to Ghassaal [Ghusl-giving person], ‘I make you swear to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, be gentle with me in Ghusl.’

(Sharh-us-Sudoor, pp. 95)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! As a matter of fact, we ourselves should give Ghusl and shroud the deceased of our household, but regretfully, we have only paid attention to make our future better and got higher worldly education, hence deprived ourselves of Islamic knowledge.

Dear Islamic sisters, come to senses! Today we have time; we should gain not only Islamic knowledge ourselves, but should also get our children to learn Islamic rulings. Besides persuading them to perform virtuous deeds we should also persuade them to hate sins. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of its blessings we will gain plenty of knowledge. If our children become righteous, they will become a treasure of continuous reward for us after our death اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
