Is it permissible to give a shroud as charity to a poor or rich deceased person, and is there a difference of opinion on this matter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Donating a shroud for the deceased is commendable, and it may become obligatory if the deceased did not leave behind enough to cover the cost of the shroud. This donation is considered charity for the poor and a gift or present for the rich, and there is no disagreement regarding this.
