Soiling

Question

Hi. What does "soiling mean in   ...the funerary rites are considered as unclean and soiling, the contact with the corpse as defiling and dangerous...?Thanks in adance

PeterT · Accepted Answer

The corpse has likely already been in contact with the earth and is soiled, or may be 'leaking' from orifices or open sores. So for the same reason you wouldn't rub your hands in the dirt or pet a stray dog, then sit down for a family meal, you wouldn't touch a corpse, unless you're Muslim and perform ablutions required by your faith.

making dirty

If you soil your hands, you get them dirty.

considered as unclean and soiling ~ considered as unclean and as something that makes you dirty

But that would make 'defiling' ridiculous, redundant. Doesn't it?
