CEREMONIAL BATH FOR TOUCHING A DEAD BODY
٥٢٧. If a person touches the dead body of a human being which has become cold and has not yet been bathed (i.e. brings any part of his own body in contact with it)he should take bath, whether he touches the dead body during sleep or when awake and whether he does so voluntarily or involuntarily. So much so that even if his nail or bonetouches the nail or bone of the dead body he should take bath. Bath is not, however, obligatory if one touches the dead body of an animal.
٥٢٨. If the entire body of the dead person has not become cold, bath does not become obligatory on account of touching that part of its body which has become cold.
٥٢٩. If a person touches his hair with the body of a dead person, or touches his body with the hair of the dead person, or touches his hair with the hair of thedead person, and the hair are so long that it may not be said generally that he has touched the dead body, it does not become obligatory for the person concerned to takebath.
٥٣٠. Bathing on account of touching the dead body of a child or even still-born child which has completed its ٤ months becomes obligatory. Hence, if a still-bornchild who has completed his ٤ months, and whose body has become cold, touches the outer part of its mothers body the mother should take bath for touching the dead body.
٥٣١. A child who is born after his mother is dead and her body has become cold and touches any outer part of his mothers dead body should take bath on attainingthe age of puberty, for touching the dead body.
٥٣٢. It is not obligatory to take bath for a person who touches a dead body after its ٣ baths have been completed. However, if he touches any part of the dead bodybefore the completion of ٣ baths he should take bath for touching the dead body, even though the ٣rd bath of that part of the dead body which he has touched may have beencompleted.
