`Awrah of the deceased ready to be autopsied

Q 2: Is it permissible for a Muslim to look at the `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public) of a dead body for anatomical purposes? What should a Muslim do in this case?


A: Looking at the `Awrah of a deceased person is as prohibited as looking at it when that person was alive (Part No. 24; Page No. 424) except in the manner allowed for anatomical purposes due to a necessity for this.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
