The ruling on washing the shroud with Zamzam water before death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My aunt asked me to buy her a shroud and to wash this shroud with Zamzam water. Is this practice prescribed?

Answer:
This was done in Makkah until recently. People would buy fabrics, wash them, and spread them out on the floor of al-Masjid al-Haram. But now this phenomenon has disappeared. This has no basis; it has no basis. Yes.
