What is the best way to shroud the deceased? Is it shrouding in two garments due to his command (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, whose mount fell on him, or shrouding in three garments as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shrouded?
The Shaykh:
Two garments, my brother. That is specific to the muharram. As for the non-muharram, he is shrouded in three garments; this is the best. And if he is shrouded in one garment that covers his entire body, there is no harm in that; this is the minimum of what is obligatory.
