Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb from Shihab ibn ’Abd Rabbihi who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is involved in sexual relations and he gives Ghusl (bath) to a dead person or one who has given Ghusl (bath) to a dead person, then performs sexual relation with his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the same and it is not harmful.

If he is involved in sexual relation, he washes his hand, then gives Ghusl (bath) to a dead person, then takes Wudu’, can go to his wife for sexual relation, only one Ghusl (bath) is sufficient for both reasons.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/236))
