Question 5: If the wound of the deceased person bleeds, so how should the shroud be protected from becoming impure in this case?
Answer: Maktaba-tul-Madinah has published a book titled ‘Tajheez-o-Takfeen ka Tareeqah’. Stated on page 92 of the book is the following ruling endorsed by Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat: If a body-part of the deceased person bleeds after he has been given the bath, making the shroud impure; so neither bath will be given again nor will the shroud be changed. If such a situation arises, so neither bathing nor shrouding will be repeated. However, it is better to place cotton in a sufficient quantity onto the bleeding point so that the shroud will not be stained.

How is it to watch cartoon?
Question 10: How is it for the children to watch cartoon?
Answer: These days, cartoons are full of music, indecent scenes, useless activities and fighting and are a means of teaching children different sins. Watching cartoons causes a bad effect on the minds of children. Therefore, do not let children watch such cartoons. Instead, make them watch “Madani pearls of Ghulam Rasool[1]” which are free from music and fighting and contain words of wisdom and religious teachings. This will teach them good manners from an early age.
