1⃣قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ یُغَسِّلُ الْمَیِّتَ أَوْلَی النَّاسِ بِهِ أَوْ مَنْ یَأْمُرُهُ الْوَلِیُّ بِذَلِکَ.

📚 Al-Fiqh, Vol. 1, Page 141

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: The person who performs the washing (*ghusl*) of the deceased is the one who has the most right (*awla*) over the deceased or someone authorized by the guardian (*wali*) of the deceased to do so.

2⃣عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: یُصَلِّی عَلَی الْجِنَازَةِ أَوْلَی النَّاسِ بِهَا أَوْ یَأْمُرُ مَنْ یُحِبُّ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, Page 177

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: The person with the most right (*awla*) over the deceased leads the funeral prayer, or they delegate this responsibility to someone they choose.

3⃣ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَمُوتُ مَنْ أَحَقُّ أَنْ یُصَلِّیَ عَلَیْهَا قَالَ الزَّوْجُ قُلْتُ الزَّوْجُ أَحَقُّ مِنَ الْأَبِ وَ الْأَخِ وَ الْوَلَدِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, Page 177

Abu Basir narrates: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a woman who has passed away. Who has the most right to lead her funeral prayer? He replied: Her husband. I asked: Does the husband have more right than her father, brother, or son? He said: Yes!

4⃣عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَیْمُونٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْداللَّهِ عَنِ الْقَبْرِ کَمْ یَدْخُلُهُ قَالَ ذَاکَ إِلَی الْوَلِیِّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَ وَتْراً وَ إِنْ شَاءَ شَفْعاً.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, Page 193

Zurarah narrates: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about the burial and how many people may enter the grave. The Imam replied: This is up to the guardian (*wali*) of the deceased. If they wish, they can allow one person, or more.

✅ Based on the above and other narrations, washing (*ghusl*), shrouding (*takfin*), and leading the funeral prayer for the deceased must be performed by the person with the most right (*awla*) among the guardians of the deceased. If someone else is to perform these acts, it must be with the permission of the guardian.

Additionally, the decision regarding how many individuals are allowed to enter the grave is also the responsibility of the guardian.

✅ From narration 3⃣, it is clear that if the deceased is a woman, her husband has the most right (*awla*) over her, even above her father, son, or brother, although the father and son are also considered guardians (*wali*) of the deceased.

✅ In the case of a man’s death, if both his adult son and father are alive and present, since both are guardians (*wali*) of the deceased and belong to the first category of inheritance, and there is no specific narration to determine who has the most right in this scenario, it is recommended, as a precaution, to seek permission from both the father and the son.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
