Question:
A woman passed away, and her daughters washed her body. They placed some green camphor, musk, and basil inside the shroud, then buried her with it. Is this valid, or is there sin in it?

There is nothing wrong with that. As mentioned previously, camphor is placed with the washing. If it is delayed from the washing and placed with the perfume, there is no harm, if Allah wills. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
