Can someone tell me why in Islamic burial practices the deceased’s body is washed an uneven number of times in preparation for burial?

As Muslims, we are taught that God prefers odd numbers. You will find that reflected in most aspects of Islamic observance, from our required prayers (5) to the number of times you have to declare your faith to become as Muslim (3).
