Touching the Dead Bodies which Are Being Dissected
Issue No. 2450- Touching the dead body of a Muslim that is being dissected, does not make ritual bathing (Ghusl) obligatory, if it Ghusl of Mayyit (Ghusl for the dead body) has been given to it, otherwise, each time the dead body is touched, Ghusl for touching the dead body should be performed. And if this causes hardship and difficulty for him, he can perform tayammum instead of Ghusl. However, if dissecting is done on bones without flesh or on separated fleshy limbs, like heart, veins, and brain, etc., Ghusl will not become obligatory. And if one can use gloves, Ghuls will not become obligatory under any circumstances.
