To whom the shroud is worn for boys or men. Funeral in Islam. Kafenlek (shroud) and other accessories. What should be the shroud

If a loved one or relative has died, it is important not to forget even the smallest details, such as a funeral blanket. This is an integral symbolism at any funeral in almost all religions of the world. How to choose the right shroud?

The death of a loved one is always a tragedy that is difficult to survive. After such news, most people begin to panic and confusion.

It must be remembered that it is very important to organize a worthy farewell to the dead.

What is a funeral cover and why is it needed?

The cover for the dead is often called a shroud. This is a fairly long and wide robe for the dead, which is usually made in white. Simply put, the body of the deceased in the coffin is covered with such a cloth, similar to how people cover themselves with a blanket during sleep. The body of the deceased is covered with a shroud only after the ritual of washing.

The white or any other light color of the shroud can symbolize the baby's attire during the rite of baptism.

Thanks to covering the body with such a veil, according to the clergy, the body is partially cleansed of sins. The white shroud represents a kind of protection against all kinds of negativity, which is most likely to happen in another world.

They cover the deceased with a shroud only up to the chest (up to the level of the heart), and only in rare cases is it allowed to cover the body completely if the body of the deceased has many injuries and wounds, which were the cause of death.

The hands of the deceased must be open.

After the funeral procedure, the priest is obliged to personally cover the body of the deceased with a veil, after which the coffin only closes, and the deceased person sinks into the ground. Before completely covering the body of the deceased, all relatives and friends should say goodbye to the deceased by kissing him on the forehead.

As you already understood, the shroud can be called almost the main attribute in the coffin of every deceased. In no case can you save on this.

How to choose a cover?

There are a huge number of varieties of funeral bedspreads. Typically, such textiles are sold complete with a special pillow, which is placed under the head of the deceased.

Expensive shrouds, of course, are sewn from natural, pleasant to the touch fabrics. Among such materials are natural silk, satin and brocade. Covers made of cotton and linen materials will be cheaper. It should be noted that such products are environmentally friendly, but due to the lack of gloss, they, unfortunately, are not in demand and, accordingly, are a little cheaper.

The most economical option are bedspreads made of synthetic materials, such as:

• tulle;
• nylon;
• polyester.

You should give preference to such bedspreads only in extreme cases, if you have serious financial problems.

Also, burial shrouds may differ in the nature of the image. Usually, crosses, icons and other religious paraphernalia are embroidered on each bedspread. For atheists, there are special analogues without embroidery. As a rule, the color of the thread with which the drawing was made varies from yellow to pale pink. Darker colors are best ignored.

The shroud is an integral funeral attribute that is customary to use in a variety of religions. If you have the desire and opportunity to worthily see your loved one to another world, do not skimp on this.

Requirements for male and female shroud

Graves are of two types:

b) Chic: in those places where, due to soft soil, it will not be possible to make lahad, at the bottom of the grave, a shallow trench should be dug in the center to place the body in it. You can use boards to close the trench from above. The use of any fabrics, blankets, etc. is undesirable and wasteful. Boards or bamboo canes should be sawn to length in advance (before the funeral) to avoid unnecessary haste during the funeral.

Please note: is makrooh(reprehensible) to dig and prepare one's own grave during one's lifetime.

Kafan (shroud)

Kafan (shroud) is the grave clothes of the deceased. It is desirable that the kafan be made of white material and of medium quality in accordance with the status of the deceased. The Prophet (PBUH) said:

From the book “True Teaching” (“Taglim-ul-Haq”) by Shabbir Ahmad Desai

Dear Muslims! please tell me how many meters of white matter /kafan/ is needed for the burial of a woman and got the best answer

Answer from?[guru]
In the Hanafi madhhab, the kafan (savan) consists of several parts:
1. Isar. This is a piece of coarse calico that covers the body of the deceased from head to toe. Its width is usually more than one meter.
2. Camis. This is a whole piece of coarse calico, which should cover the body of the deceased from head to toe, like a dressing gown. A hole is cut in it to pass the head through.
3. Lifafa. This is the longest and widest piece of calico they completely wrap the deceased. At the head and legs, the ends of the matter are tightly tied.
For dead women, two more are added to these pieces of matter:
- Himar. This is a scarf that covers the head:
- Hirka. This is a chest cover.
If there is no coarse calico, then it is permissible to use any other matter. It is desirable that it be white.

The villages of Zhukovo and Belonogovo have always been considered Old Believers. I tried to restore the distinctive features of the funeral rites of the Old Believers of the chapels of these villages. To do this, he used such forms of research as questioning and observation. Unfortunately, there are only a few residents who know the rituals; they acted as a source of information.
The Old Believers are preparing for death in advance. Before death, they try to make sure to confess according to the “skete repentance” to the mentor. They prepare special funeral clothes, which are called "row" or "mortal". It is prepared in advance. “I have been lying for more than twenty years, my mother sewed for herself and cooked for me. Saw on hand.
The shroud and clothes are necessarily linen or satin, hand-sewn, not “hacked” (i.e., the seams are not hemmed). The shroud is a sewn cloth with a hood. Men's clothing consists of a shirt to the knees, underpants and a belt, and women's clothing from a shirt to the heels, a scarf (usually two scarves) and a belt. Men wear white socks and slippers on their feet, while women wear stockings and slippers. In addition, a veil was being prepared - a narrow strip of white fabric about five meters long, as well as a cover - a piece of white matter.
Be sure to prepare a ladder and a new pectoral cross with a gaitan. A pillowcase is sewn on a pillow measuring 20 by 30 cm, stuffed with birch leaves and “Bogorodskaya” grass (thyme).
According to the ideas of the Old Believers, dying among the family in full memory, and even on Easter, is a blessing from heaven for a person. Our ancestors believed that if a person died quickly, then his soul went to heaven, and if he suffered before death, it means that the sins are great and he cannot escape hell.
It was believed that the easiest way to die was on the floor, where straw was laid, and later - linen. Trying to help the dying, they opened the door, window, chimney - so that it would be easier for the soul to fly away. “When he starts to watch, they read the canon for the outcome of the soul, and when he leaves, then they immediately begin to dress him.”
The washing of the dead in each village is performed by specially trained people who performed this rite so that no one saw the body of the deceased naked.
“How many ordeals are described in the “Vision of Grigoriev” - so many rags need to be prepared.” Washing accessories: a vessel, a spoon, rags - on the way to the cemetery with a prayer, they lowered them into the river or buried them in the grave.
After washing, the body was placed in a coffin with the singing of an angelic song. The bed of the deceased was taken out to the chicken coop, “so that the roosters crowed”, and remained for three days.
Until the early 1980s, elderly Old Believers were buried in dominoes - dugout wooden logs. Later they began to make a coffin from boards, without iron nails. The tradition has now been lost.
The coffin is not upholstered with cloth. In the house where the deceased lies, a mirror is hung. They do not heat the stove, they guard the dead man at night - that is, surely someone is sitting at the coffin, not sleeping.
After being placed in the coffin until the day of the funeral, the Psalter was read over the deceased according to a special rule, and on the day of the funeral they performed a burial, or funeral service, during which all the relatives of the deceased said goodbye to him in turn. After the funeral, the coffin was closed and taken to the cemetery.
Often, special mourners were invited to the funeral - women who know many beautiful and appropriate cries for any occasion. “Orina knew how to pity so much that you don’t want to, but you roar with foolishness to unconsciousness,” fellow villagers said about Zhukovsky’s mourner.
Before the coffin is taken out, the chicken is served through the coffin, and then given to a stranger to pray for the deceased. You can't go under the coffin. When the coffin is carried out, one must not touch the doorposts (touch magic). Close relatives should not carry the coffin.
First they take out the cross, the lid, and then the coffin. Whoever carries the cross is given a towel. They put the coffin in the fence. If he died not at home, then they take him to the house to say goodbye.
By this time, in the cemetery (in the village of Zhukovo - “at the graves”, “behind the hill”), diggers had already dug out a grave. “You don’t have to dig deep, it’s just up to the armpits so that you can get out later.” (Referring to the second coming and the resurrection of all the dead).
After incense, the graves lowered the coffin and covered it with earth, put up a cross with a lid (stuffed cabbage) and turned to the deceased three times: “Remember me in the kingdom of heaven when you stand before the throne of God!” They dispersed without looking back and went to the house of the deceased, where a commemoration (funeral dinner) was held.
A special element of the funeral and memorial rite is the observance of mourning. Family hire "spiritual", "divine" for this period - to read the magpie, and on the third, ninth, fortieth day and anniversary - to perform "panafida" (requiem).
Due to the closed nature of the culture of the Old Believers, the traditional elements of the funeral and memorial cycle have acquired the status of a code, a mandatory rule, an axiom that must be observed. Observations from outside, personal conversations made it possible to state that many ritual actions are performed “according to the rule”, “according to the law”, “as was customary”, but the semantic basis has already been forgotten by many.
Thus, the process of erosion of the ritual basis naturally touched the Old Believers, which confirms the legitimacy of the general evolutionary process of all components of culture.
ST. Batuev,

1. Width shroud depends on width deceased in the shoulders . Calculations are made according to the scheme:

Shroud Width = Deceased Width ´ 3

For example, the width of the deceased at the shoulders is 30 cm, so we choose a piece of fabric 90 cm wide, if the width of the deceased is 40 cm, the width of the fabric is 120 cm, etc.

2. Length The shroud is selected according to the following scheme:

Shroud length = Deceased length + 1/3 body length

For example, if the length of the deceased is 180 cm, then the length of the fabric for the shroud will be: 180 + (180:3) = 240 cm. If the length of the deceased is 150 cm, then the length of the shroud = 150 + (150:3) = 200 cm. the addition is made in order to tie the shroud over the head and under the feet of the deceased.

The second step is wrapping in a shroud:

1. man wrapped in 3 fabrics. This is based on hadith from ‘Aisha: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was wrapped in three white cotton fabrics. None of these tissues "shirts" and "turbans" *: first wrapped first, then second, then third.

1.1. cook bandages from the same fabric as the shroud, the length is equal to the width of the shroud.

For example, if the width of the deceased is 60 cm, then the width of the shroud = 60´3 = 180 cm, and the length of the bandage will also be 180 cm. An odd number of bandages should be prepared (for example, 7). After that, they need to be put on a stretcher at the same distance between them.

1.2. cook 3 fabrics .

For example, let the length of the deceased be 180 cm, the length of the fabric, respectively, will be: 180 + (180:3) = 240 cm. These three fabrics are placed on the stretcher exactly on top of each other.

1.3. cook at-tubban - a piece of fabric 100 cm long and 25 cm wide. A cut about 30-40 cm long is made in the middle from its upper and lower edges. This piece of fabric is placed on a stretcher over the previous three fabrics, with the expectation that at-tubban was under the buttocks of the deceased. Into the middle at-tubbana put a piece of cotton wool soaked in a pleasantly smelling agent (cologne, perfume, bowl).

1.4. Thus, on the stretcher are: bandages, on top of them - 3 pieces of fabric, on top of them - at-tubban with a piece of cotton.

Having completed this, the deceased is transferred to a stretcher ( ‘awrah must be covered at all times). It is advisable (but not necessary) to smear some pleasantly smelling ointment on the places involved in sujude (forehead, nose, palms, knees, toes). This action expresses gratitude to them for their prostrations to Allah. It is also desirable to put cotton wool soaked in this ointment in the inguinal region of the deceased. After that, the hands of the deceased must be folded along his body.

Now back to at-tubbanu . Having made cuts in it, we conditionally divided it into 4 sectors: 2 upper and 2 lower. After the deceased was placed on a stretcher, the lower right sector at-tubbana is passed between the legs of the deceased and is connected over the body with the upper right sector. Similarly, the lower left sector is connected to the upper left. This is done in order to prevent possible excretions of the deceased from getting on the shroud.

1.5. After that, we move on to wrapping deceased in a shroud. Start rolling with first a piece of cloth (closest to the deceased). The body is first covered by the right part of the shroud, and then by the left. Having wrapped the deceased in the first layer of matter, we remove the veil that covers ‘awrah . The parts of the fabric above the head and below the legs are folded over and laid over the face and feet, respectively. After that, the body is covered with the right side second a piece of fabric, and then - its left part. Similarly, the fabric above the head and below the legs is folded and placed over the body. Then the same is done with third a piece of cloth.

1.6. With the prepared bandages on the stretcher, first of all, they bind the part of the last fabric that protrudes beyond the head and legs. After that, the remaining dressings are tied. It should be noted that the nodes need to be done over leftist side of the deceased, because in the grave he will be laid on his right side, and the bandages will be easily untied.

2. In wrapping women participate 5 fabrics : 2 pieces of cloth in which the deceased is wrapped, outer clothing ( "shirt" ), isar and head scarf khimar ).

For example: let the deceased be 50 cm wide and 150 cm long. Two fabrics 50´3 = 150 cm wide and the same length of the bandage (i.e. 150 cm) are taken for wrapping. As already mentioned, it is desirable to have an odd number of dressings, for example, 7. They are placed on a stretcher at an equal distance from each other. Two prepared fabrics are placed over the bandages so that they protrude from the foot end of the stretcher only to a length sufficient to cover the legs, and the rest should protrude from the head end.

2.1. Training "shirts" .

The length of the "shirt" \u003d Distance from the shoulders of the deceased to her shins ´ 2

A hole is cut in the middle of this fabric through which the head will be threaded. Due to the fact that the fabric of the “shirt” is 2 times longer than the stretcher, we proceed as follows: we cover the stretcher with one half of the fabric, and collect the other half and put it behind them in the place where the head of the deceased will lie. (Thus, half of the fabric laid on the stretcher will lie under the deceased, and the body will be covered from above with the other half of the fabric.) The width of the "shirt" constant always around 90 cm .

2.2. Training isara . Isar - this is a rectangular piece of fabric 90 wide and 150 cm long. It is placed on a stretcher over the "shirt".

2.3. Head scarf preparation. It is cut out of fabric measuring 90x90 cm.

2.4. Training at-tubbana . Its width is 25 cm, length is 90 cm. 2 cuts are made in the middle of the fabric from the upper and lower edges. Thereafter at-tubban placed on a stretcher isara in such a way that at-tubban was under the buttocks of the deceased. On the at-tubban put a piece of cotton soaked in a pleasantly smelling solution ( bowl, camphor ). It is desirable to impregnate with the same solution isar and "shirt". Let me remind you that the width of the "shirt" isara and the head scarf is the same for everyone - 90 cm.

2.5. Having finished with the preparation of tissues, the deceased is transferred to a stretcher, making sure that her ‘awrah was covered. We connect at-tubban above the body of the deceased: its upper right end - with the lower right, and the upper left - with the lower left. After that, the right side isara fits on the body, then - its left side, after which gently from under isara remove the cloth covering ‘awrah .

Then we move on to putting on the shirt. As already mentioned, its lower half lies on a stretcher, and the upper half is assembled and laid over the head of the deceased. We unfold the upper half of the “shirt” and thread the head of the deceased into the hole made in it, and lay the fabric itself on top of the body.

In our example, the width of the body is 50 cm, and the width of the “shirt” is always 90 cm. These more than 40 cm fit under the body of the deceased from the right and left sides. After that, the head (face and hair) of the deceased is wrapped with a prepared head scarf.

2.6. Wrapping. The right part of the first fabric (that is, the one closest to the body) is placed on the body of the deceased (including the head and legs), and then the left part is placed. After that, the body is covered with a second cloth: first with its right part, then with its left.

2.7. Binding starts from the head. The fabric above the head is tied with a prepared bandage. After that, the fabric protruding beyond the legs is tied. In the same way, if this part of the fabric protrudes to a great length, it is folded, laid on the legs and tied with a bandage. After that, the remaining dressings are tied. The knots should be made on the left side to make it easier to untie them after the body is laid in the grave on the right side (see fig. rice. 2 ) .

note:

1. Boys under 7 years old are wrapped with one or three fabrics.

2. Girls under 7 years old are wrapped with two pieces of cloth and a "shirt".

CHAPTER FOUR
The order of prayer at burial (janazah-prayer)

1. Hadith explaining the merits janazah prayer .

According to Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever participated in the funeral procession before the Janazah prayer, that is a reward equal to one carat. Whoever participated in it until the burial, the reward is equal to two carats. Then they asked: “What is two carats?” He replied: “They are like two huge mountains.” Thus, if a Muslim participates in the funeral procession until the burial, he receives a reward from Allah twice as large as the size of the mountain. Uhud located near Medina.
