Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Our custom is to shroud the Muslim deceased in five garments: an izar, a qamis, a khimar, and two wrappings. The Muslim deceased is shrouded in three wrappings. What is the ruling on our practice? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is the recommended and most complete way: to shroud the man in three garments, meaning three wrappings, and to shroud the woman in five garments: an izar, a qamis, a khimar, and two wrappings. Yes.
