The ruling on one who prepares the necessities for the burial of his wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me, according to the Shari'ah, to prepare the burial necessities on behalf of my wife, including the burial, shrouding, and the like?
Answer:
The cost of preparation comes from her wealth. If she has wealth, it comes from her wealth. If she has no wealth, it is upon her heir. You and the heirs... provide what is required of the preparation, shrouding, washing, digging the grave, and the like. And if she has wealth, her preparation comes from her wealth, taking precedence over the heirs.
