Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
What is the ruling on attending a ghusl being performed on a dead Muslim male? One would be going simply to watch and be reminded of death and would not be participating in the ghusl itself.
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.
There is nothing wrong with attending the ghusl of a dead Muslim even if one isn’t assisting in the washing, if there is a sound reason (such as remembering death) in doing so.
And Allah alone gives success.
