Making zikr while giving ghusal to the deceased
Question
Can one recite durood or make any zikr when performing the ghusal for the deceased?
Answer
It is not a Sunnah practice to recite durood or any form of zikr in an audible manner while carrying out the ghusal. However, one should remember Allah Ta’ala in one’s mind.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
