Hadith.448 - Sulayman ibn Khalid asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Does one who washes the deceased need to perform ghusl (ritual purification)?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes." He then asked: "What about someone who places the deceased in the grave?" Imam (as) replied: "No, because he only touches the clothing."
