Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it valid to shroud the deceased in black or in another color other than white?
Answer:
If white is not available, the deceased is shrouded in whatever color is available. If white is not available, but if white is found, it is better to shroud in white; otherwise, it is permissible to shroud in any color, but white is better if it is found. And if it is white cotton, that is better than white that is not cotton.
