Shrouding the Man and Shrouding the Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: How is the man shrouded and how is the woman shrouded?

A: It is best to shroud the man in three white garments, without a shirt or a turban; this is the best. The woman is shrouded in five pieces: an izar (lower garment), a shirt, a khimar (head covering), and two wraps. If the deceased is shrouded in a single wrap that covers the body, it is permissible, whether it is a man or a woman, and the matter is broad in this regard.
