Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. He asks: Do we have the right to moisten the shroud of the deceased with the Zamzam water we brought from the sacred lands?
The Shaykh:
There is no basis for this. There is no basis for moistening the shroud with Zamzam water. This is merely something in the minds of some of the common people.
The questioner:
And what is not understood?
The Shaykh:
What should be done is that the shroud is perfumed with incense or perfume. This is the well-known practice. Yes.
The presenter:
On the occasion of perfuming the shroud, Shaykh Salih, are women and men equal in this, or is the perfuming specific to men?
The Shaykh:
All are equal in this.
The presenter:
What Allah willed.
The Shaykh:
Because the rulings concerning funerals do not differ between men and women. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
