Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudama - Edited by Al-Turki
Volume 3 · Page 386345 - Issue: He said: (If he is shrouded in a shirt, an izar [waist wrap], and a wrap, the izar is placed next to his skin, and the shirt is not buttoned over him)

Translation · EN

If something similar to that was left, there is no harm.

345 - Issue; He said: "If he is shrouded in a qamis (shirt), an izar (waist wrapper), and a lifafa (outer shroud), the izar should be placed against his skin, and the qamis should not be buttoned up over him."

Shrouding in a qamis, an izar, and a lifafa is not disliked; rather, the first [method previously mentioned] is more excellent, but this is permissible and there is no dislike in it, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) clothed Abdullah ibn Ubayy in his qamis when he died. Recorded by al-Bukhari (1). He is wrapped with the izar, clothed in the qamis, and then wrapped with the lifafa after that. Ahmad said: "If they make a qamis for him, it is more beloved to me that it be like the qamis of a living person, having two sleeves, gussets (dakhariṣ), and buttons, but the qamis should not be buttoned up over him."

Section: Abu Dawud said: I said to Ahmad: "Should a man prepare his shroud and pray in it for days—or I said: 'Enter into ihram in it'—then wash it and set it aside for his shroud?" He considered that to be good. He said: "It pleases me that it be new or washed." He disliked that he should wear it until he soils it.

Section: It is permissible to shroud in two garments, due to the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding the pilgrim (muhrim) who was killed by his mount: "Wash him with water and lotus leaves (sidr), and shroud him in two garments." Recorded by al-Bukhari (4). Suwayd ibn Ghafala used to say: "He is to be shrouded in two garments." Al-Awza'i said: "Two garments are sufficient, and the minimum that suffices is one garment that covers his entirety." Umm Atiyya said: "When we finished"—meaning from the washing of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)—"he threw his waist-wrapper (haqwu) to us and said: 'Wrap her in it,' and he did not add to that."
