The Deceased Has Specified Someone to Carry Out His Death Rights
Issue No.522-If a dead person appoints someone other than his legal guardian to carry out his final procedures, i.e. if he has said that a particular person is to perform prayer on his dead body, it is obligatory to act accordingly, and the recommended precaution is to seek permission from his guardian too. However, it is not obligatory for the one appointed to accept this appointment, although it is better that he does, and if so, he must act upon it.
