Ghusl for touching a dead body (Mase Mayyit)

Pearl of Wisdom

'The Abbasids visited Salih. b. Wasif, and Salih. b. 'Ali and a few other deviated people from this location also visited Salih. b. Wasif when Abu Muhammad (AS) [Imam al-'Askari] was in the prison. He said to him, 'Put him in strict confinement and give him no ease.' Salih. replied, 'What more can I do with him when I have assigned two of the most evil men I could find to guard him, and surprisingly those two have turned to worship and prayers [as a result of the Imam]!'

Ghusl for touching a dead body (Mase Mayyit)

If a person touches any part of a dead body including bone but not hair of a human being which has become overall cold and has yet not been given complete Ghusl-e- mayyit either consciously or unconsciously, voluntarily or involuntarily while a sleep or awake, with any part of his body including nail, he should do GHUSLE MASE MAYYIT (GHUSL FOR TOUCHING A DEAD BODY).

Therefore, those who performed Ghusl-e-Mayyit for the deseased person, having touched the body before three ghusls were completed shall have to do GHUSLE MASE MAYYIT. They cannot say their prayers or similar acts of worhip till they have done the Ghusl.
