Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 23
سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا مَاتَتْ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا اِمْرَأَةٌ تُغَسِّلُهَا قَالَ« يُدْخِلُ زَوْجُهَا يَدَهُ تَحْتَ قَمِيصِهَا فَيُغَسِّلُهَا إِلَى اَلْمَرَافِقِ»
Sahl ibn Ziyad narrated from Ibn Mahbub, from Ibn Ri'ab, from al-Halabi:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked regarding a woman who dies and there is no other woman present to wash her. Imam عليه السلام said: "Her husband may insert his hand under her shirt and wash her up to the elbows."
