Perfuming the shroud of a woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the shroud of a woman perfumed or not? Given that men are the ones who carry her?

Answer:
Yes, it is perfumed. The shroud of both the woman and the man is perfumed. The men carry her while she is covered by the shroud, and they do not look at her. This is not a time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); this is a time of death.
