body

Dear scholars, As-Salaam `Alaykum. I am a new Muslim and my father who is a non-Muslim wants his body to be cremated. Being the only member of the family in charge of the funeral, can I do it without fanfare, and get it over with? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-salaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh Dear brotherI would really appreciate if you can answer my following question:I have hair all over my body.  It includes my chest and stomach too. Before I used to shave them. They used to come back quickly. It didn?t effect their growth as well and I also heard that it made them harder. I am getting them waxed now. There growth has become slower and they are becoming softer. I don?t get my bikini area waxed and my back but other then that I am now getting all of it waxed by some ladies. Is this allowed? If not what should I do as it is a bit embracing for me as well when I go to my husband with hair on my body and specially cheat and stomach. I am expecting and after delivery we get this body massage by a lady with oils that helps our bones to get back in shape and also strengthen us after the weakness of delivering a child. Is that permissible.Jazak Allah Khair.

Dear Scholar,assalamu alaykum Recently i heard from one of our friend is that when a righteous person dies his physical body is preserved in the grave. Is there any hadeeth to prove it ?

Dear Sheikh! Salam `Alaykum! Is it allowed, from an Islamic perspective, to dissect human body after death for some purpose like medical research? Please enlighten me on this regard.
