Issue 261: After Ghusl, it is obligatory to embalm the dead body, that is, to apply camphor to the forehead, the palms, the knees and the big toes of the dead body, and it is recommended to apply camphor to its nose as well. The camphor must be fresh and in the form of powder, and if it is so stale that has lost its fragrance, it will not suffice.
Issue 262: It is better to embalm the dead body before shrouding, although it does not matter if embalmment occurs while or after shrouding.
