Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from a man, from Al-Misma’i, from Isma’il ibn Yasar, from Yunus ibn Ya’qub, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "A menstruating woman and a junub (one in a state of major ritual impurity) should not be present during the talqin (recitation of instructions to the deceased), but there is no harm if they assist in washing the body."
