Donating the Shroud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first and third questions of Fatwa No. ( 18230 )
Q 1: My father passed away on Friday, 30/7/1416 AH, and we were halfway there, bringing him to the hospital. One of the companions went with me to buy a shroud. After the funeral prayer was completed, I gave the mentioned person the price of the shroud, but he swore by Allah that he would not take anything. What is the ruling in this matter?
A 1: The one who bought the shroud for your father has done a good deed. If he refuses to take the value, he is seeking the reward from Allah. There is no blame on you in that, nor on the deceased, and praise be to Allah, because he donated it.
