Shrouding the menstruating woman in ihram if she dies in an accident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is also a question from Prince Faisal’s gathering. He says: An accident happened to us on the road while we were traveling from al-Madinah to Makkah,
The Shaykh:
you are traveling.
The questioner:
Like that. Okay. He says: My wife died as a result of the accident, and she was menstruating. The burial procedures stated that she was in ihram, so she was washed and shrouded in her clothes and buried. Do we owe anything?
The Shaykh:
They were in ihram; the accident happened to them while they were in ihram.
The questioner:
They were... I think she was not. He says: An accident happened to us on the road while we were traveling from al-Madinah to Makkah, and my wife died as a result of the accident, and she was menstruating,
The Shaykh:
Yes, and continue.
The questioner:
The burial procedures stated that she was in ihram, so she was washed and shrouded in her clothes.
The Shaykh:
They became in ihram. Yes, the one in ihram, but the woman does not have a specific prohibition in it. This is for the man. The man enters ihram with an izar and a rida'. When a man was standing with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at 'Arafah, he fell from his mount and it kicked him. Meaning, it kicked him with its leg and he died. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:443.
So if a man dies while in ihram, he is shrouded in his ihram clothes and kept away from the prohibitions of ihram. Likewise, the woman is kept away from the prohibitions of ihram; her face is not covered with a burqu' or niqab, and her hands are not covered with gloves. These are the prohibitions for her: the burqu' or niqab and the gloves, and as for the rest of the clothing, she is like any other woman, like one not in ihram. She is shrouded as women are shrouded, except that her face is not covered with a burqu' but with something else, with the shroud. It is covered with the shroud, her hands are covered with the shroud, and not with gloves. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

Shroud him in his two garments, and do not apply perfume to him, and do not cover his head, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection while calling out Labbaik.
كفنوه في ثوبيه، ولا تمسوه طيبا، ولا تخمروا رأسه، فإنه يبعث يوم القيامة ملبياSo if a man dies while in ihram, he is shrouded in his ihram clothes and kept away from the prohibitions of ihram.
