May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We observe that after a woman is shrouded, she is covered with a black abaya. Is this contrary to shrouding in white clothes?

No, this abaya is not a shroud. It is a cover they place over the bier when carrying her. There is no harm in that. The woman is not shrouded in the abaya; she is shrouded in white. Yes, but they place the abaya over her. They also place a blanket over the man. This is in the category of covering him from the eyes of onlookers. Yes.
