Removing a plaster after the demise of a person
Question
More than half of a person’s leg was bandaged due to a wound, when he passed away. In order for Ghusl to be performed, should we remove the bandage completely, or will it suffice to make Masah over the bandage?
Answer
The plaster should be removed and the area should be washed as there is no need for the plaster after the demise of a person.
