The obligation of Ghusl, Kafan, Namaz and Dafn

548. Giving Ghusl, Kafan, Hunoot, Namaz, and burial to every dead Muslim, regardless of whether he/she is an Ithna – Asheri or not, is Wajib on everyone. However, if some people undertake to fulfil the obligation, others will be relieved of the responsibility. And if no one undertakes to do so, all will be equally sinful.
