Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Qunfudhah region, the questioner (Sh. A. Y.) says in the first question: When my mother passed away, we did not braid her hair into three braids as is customary; this was due to our confusion at the time. Instead, we left it as it was, combed with her hands before her death, in two braids, and no sufficient perfume was applied. Is there any blame on us for this, O Shaykh? I ask for your guidance.
Answer:
There is no blame on you for that, and praise be to Allah; because braiding it into three is recommended and not obligatory, so your leaving it in two braids carries no blame, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah bless you.
