Rules of Hunoot

591. After Ghusl is given, it is Wajib to give Hunoot to a dead body, which is to apply camphor on its forehead, both the palms, both the knees and both the big toes of its feet. As per obligatory precaution, some camphor should be left there. It is Mustahab to apply camphor to the nose tip also. Camphor must be powdered and fresh, and if it is so stale that it has lost its fragrance, then as per precautionary measure, it will not suffice.
