The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was shrouded in three wrappings. He also gave his Qamis to the son of Abdullah ibn Ubayy to shroud him in, which indicates the permissibility of shrouding with a Qamis. Some scholars hold the view that it is permissible to shroud in a Qamis, an Izar (lower garment), and a winding sheet.
