The Ruling on a Person Buying a Shroud to Keep in His Home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person wishes to buy a shroud and keep it in his house for his death, is this action prescribed?

Answer:
No, it is not prescribed. This is an act of excessive effort, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did any of his Companions, to the best of our knowledge. It is an act of excessive effort.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
