Whether it be funerals or memorials held in memory of those who have passed or simply as a rite of passing that helped closure. Many Muslims have not been able to conduct many of the rites that are so normal. The rules are as such: there are to be no more than 30 people at funerals and when someone has passed due to coronavirus then there is to be no washing of the body or shrouding, which is a fundamental part of a Muslim funeral. The washing of the body is usually done by family members of the same sex and includes washing the body and dressing the body ready for the funeral.
