The Method Of Pouring Camphor Infused Water On The Mayyit

Question

After Ghusl, camphor water is poured over the Mayyit. Is this carried out once or thrice?

Answer

The mayyit will be made to lie on his left side once more and water mixed with camphor will be poured thrice on the entire side from the head to the feet in such a manner that the water reaches the other side of body. In this final washing, the mayyit will not be turned onto his right side and washed again.
