Perform proper rituals for deceased according to Islamic teachings

This hadith explains the process of purifying a deceased person when there is no one to take charge of it. According to this hadith, if a woman dies and there are no women with her to wash her or no man who has the right by blood ties or husband to take charge, she should be purified by tayammum which means wiping her face and hands with earth. Similarly, if a man dies and there are only women with him, they also should purify him with earth. There is no particular way for washing the dead nor any recognized way to do it; they are just washed and purified. This hadith teaches us that we must respect our dead ones even after their death by performing proper rituals for them as per Islamic teachings.
