Touching a Separated Part of a Dead Body
Issue No.503- If a body part containing bone (e.g., a hand, or even a finger) is separated from a live person, or from a dead person on which the ghusls have not yet been performed, and a person touches that separated part, he should perform ghusl for touching a dead body. However, if that part does not contain a bone, it is not obligatory to do ghusl. Similarly, it is not obligatory to do ghusl for touching a bone alone or a tooth which has been separated from a live or a dead person.
