Can a woman in a state of menstruation participate in the washing of a deceased?

 

In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful.

Answer:

It is makrooh (reprehensible) for a person in a state of janabah, which requires a bath, or a woman in menstruation to give a bath to the deceased. (Raddul Muhtar, Vol1, P636)

Only Allah knows best
