Contact for help istefat Death Corona To the office of the Grand Religious Authority his Eminence Al-Sayed Al-Sistani (may Allah prolong his life), A.1 If it is not possible to wash the body due to fear of infection, then a dry ritual purification (tayammum) can performed instead even if the believer is wearing gloves. If the authorities do not allow the tayammum to be performed, then the deceased Muslim can be buried without ghusl or tayammum. A.2 In this case, embalming is no longer required and there is no alternative. A.3 The body must be shrouded using the three garments, even if it is on top of the bag. But if it is not possible to shroud the body with all three garments then it is enough to shroud it using the ones available, such as the Azar, which covers the entire body. A.4 It is not permissible to cremate the body of a deceased Muslim. His relatives and other family members must prevent that and insist on burying the body according to what is required in the true Sharia. A.5 It is permissible, but it is necessary if possible, to place the body on its right side and to turn his face towards the qiblah, as it would be if it was buried without a coffin. A.6 It is not permissible to refuse the burial of the body in public cemeteries, and the authorities in charge should facilitate this matter. Recommendation food Recommendations of His Eminence Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Husseini Al-Sistani The Supreme Religious Authority called on traders who have foodstuffs to offer them for sale and not raise their prices, as well as to ensure that prices are subsidized, given what the country is going through at the present time which is witnessing a curfew, to limit the spread of the Corona virus pandemic in most Iraqi cities. This came in the response of His Eminence, the supreme religious authority, Sayed Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, to a question received by his eminence's office. Donate istefat corna sistani The Grand Ayatollah Sistani’s office issued the Shia Grand Marja’s opinion in response to a question about the efforts of the medical staff who are working to deal with patients with corona disease. Treating patients and caring for them and doing their affairs is a sufficient obligation for doctors, nurses, etc., but the relevant authorities must provide all the essentials supplies to protect them from the dangers of the disease and no failure will be accepted. There is no doubt that the actions of those loved ones, despite all the challenges, is a great measure and is an effort that we cannot determine a price for it, even the importance of their work may be the same as the efforts of the heroic warrior forces at the borders who defend the country and its people. Surely Allah (SWT) honors their efforts, and not only will grant them rewards in the Hereafter, but we hope to all who sacrificed their lives in this way, may be granted the reward and status the same as the martyrs’ on the Day of Resurrection. We appreciate them for their precious human action, and we ask God Almighty to protect them and protect them from any evil; as God is a Hearer.
