Chapter on Touching the Deceased
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 25
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا مَاتَتْ نُفَسَاءَ وَ كَثُرَ دَمُهَا أُدْخِلَتْ إِلَى اَلسُّرَّةِ فِي اَلْأَدَمِ أَوْ مِثْلِ اَلْأَدَمِ وَ تُنَظَّفُ ثُمَّ يُحْشَى اَلْقُبُلُ وَ اَلدُّبُرُ ثُمَّ تُكَفَّنُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "If a woman dies in a state of postpartum bleeding (nifas) and her bleeding is heavy, She is washed up to the navel using a leather garment or something similar. Then She is cleaned thoroughly, and cotton is placed in the front and back (private areas), and She is shrouded afterward."
