it, because he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection in a state of talbiyah. We say: The ruling of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) regarding one person is his ruling regarding one like him, unless a specification comes to [limit] it. For this reason, his ruling regarding the martyrs of Uhud was established for all other martyrs. It has been narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that he said: "My ruling for one person is my ruling for the group" (5). Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say: In this hadith are five sunan (legal practices): shroud him in his two garments—meaning he is shrouded in two garments—and that there should be lotus leaves (sidr) in all the washings, and do not cover his head, and do not bring perfume near him, and the shroud is [paid for] from the entirety of his wealth (6). Ahmad said in another place: Water should be poured over him, but he should not be washed in the way a non-muhrim is washed. The scrubbing of his head and areas with hair was only disliked so that his hair would not fall out. There is a difference in narration from him (7) regarding covering his feet. Hanbal narrated from him: His feet are not to be covered. This is what al-Khiraqi mentioned. Al-Khallal said: I do not recognize this in the hadiths, and no one narrated it from Abu Abd Allah [Ahmad] other than Hanbal, and in my view, it is an error (8) on the part of Hanbal. The practice is that the entire muhrim is covered except for his head, because a man's ihram is in his head, and he is not prohibited from covering his feet during his life, so it is the same after his death. There is a difference in narration (9) from Ahmad regarding covering his face. Ismail ibn Said narrated from him: His face should not be covered; because in some versions of the hadith it says: "Do not cover his head nor his face." The rest of his companions narrated from him: There is no harm in covering his face, due to the hadith of Ibn Abbas which we narrated, which is the most authentic of what has been reported on the matter, and it contains nothing but the prohibition against covering the head; and because a man's ihram is in his head, and he is not prohibited from covering his face during his life, so it is more appropriate after death. He did not consider it permissible for a muhrim to wear stitched garments after his death, just as he does not wear them during his life. If the deceased is a female muhrim,
