Ask The Imam Question and Answer

115 In question 77 Imam Saab you have mentioned the number of pieces of cloth required for Kafan, for both men and women. Could you please elaborate on this question and explain why and where these are used?
For a man there are three pieces of cloth:

1. A Kameez, is a cloth that covers the deceased from neck to feet (not including arms), covering both sides of the body (ie: front and back).

2. An Izar is a cloth that is the length of the deceased.

3.) And finally the Lifafa. This is also a cloth that is the length of the deceased.

All pieces used must not be stitched.

The Kafan of Rasoolallah (S.A.W) was white, hence white colour is preferred.

It is recommended to use the same kind of quality of cloth that you would wear whilst living (ie. Good Quality).

For a woman there are the same as a man, plus 2 extra pieces :

4.) Dupata : to cover hair and face.
5.) Another piece to cover the breasts.
