Chapter on Touching the Deceased
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 25
وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْمَرْجُومُ وَ اَلْمَرْجُومَةُ يُغَسَّلاَنِ وَ يُحَنَّطَانِ وَ يُلْبَسَانِ اَلْكَفَنَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يُرْجَمَانِ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمَا وَ اَلْمُقْتَصُّ مِنْهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ ذَلِكَ يُغَسَّلُ وَ يُحَنَّطُ وَ يُلْبَسُ اَلْكَفَنَ ثُمَّ يُقَادُ وَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.
The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said : "The man and woman sentenced to stoning should be washed, embalmed, and dressed in shrouds before being stoned, then they are to be stoned and prayers are to be offered for them (Salat Al Janazah). The person subject to retaliation (Qisas) is treated similarly: they should be washed, embalmed, and dressed in shrouds before the execution, and funeral prayers should be offered for them (Salat Al Janazah).
