Seven Places of Ḥanūṭ
Issue No.552- After performing ghusl on a dead body it is obligatory to apply ḥanūṭ, which is to apply camphor on the seven places of sajdah (i.e., the forehead, the palms, the knees and both the big toes of the feet). The obligatory precaution is that some camphor be placed on these parts, and the camphor must be ṭāhir, permissible to apply and fresh, so that it keeps its usual fragrance.
