The answer

The jurists differed regarding the obligation of ablution (wudu') after washing a deceased person. The Hanbalis held that it is obligatory, and this is also the opinion of Ishaq and Al-Nakha'i, and it was narrated from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, and Abu Hurairah. However, the majority of jurists held that ablution is not obligatory, and this is the correct view, because no text has been reported concerning it, nor does it fall under the meaning of what is explicitly stated, thus it remains on its original premise.
