False claims about washing and carrying dead

25-5-2017 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is it true that if a son does not bathe and carry the dead body of his father, the father cannot go to Paradise? Is it right that if the son/husband does not carry dead body of the woman or if the woman dies in an unmarried state, she cannot go to Paradise?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is absolutely no basis for what you mentioned. It is definitely false, and it contradicts both the Islamic texts and reason.

Allah knows best.
