Question:

 

A non-Baligh child who has passed away does the same gender have to give ghusl? Can a mother give Ghusl to her non-Baligh son? Can a father give Ghusl to his non-Baligh daughter?

 

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

It would be permissible for a man or woman to give a ghusl to a non-baligh (child) whether it is a girl or boy. This is because their limbs and body parts are not awrah yet. (Maraqi Falah – Page 211 (footnote) – Darul Kutub Ilmiyah)

 

 

Only Allah knows best.
