The answer

All the deceased's possessions, including clothes, are considered an inheritance to be distributed among the heirs. The deceased should not stipulate that her clothes not be used or given away in charity; rather, it is better for her to bequeath one-third of her wealth to the poor and needy, increasing her reward. Keeping clothes without benefiting from them offers no advantage to the living or the dead. It is better that some of the heirs use them, or that they be given in charity to those in need.
