The prohibition of breaking the bones of the deceased
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " كَسْرُ عَظْمِ الْمَيِّتِ كَكَسْرِهِ حَيًّا " .
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Breaking the bones of the deceased is like breaking his bones when he is alive.”
