✅ Answer: Consider the following narrations:

1⃣عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ الْکَفَنُ فَرِیضَةً لِلرِّجَالِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَثْوَابٍ وَ الْعِمَامَةُ وَ الْخِرْقَةُ سُنَّةٌ وَ أَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَفَرِیضَتُهُ خَمْسَةُ أَثْوَابٍ

📚 Al-Tahzib, Vol. 1, p. 291

Imam Sadiq or Imam Baqir, peace be upon them, said: The obligatory shroud for men consists of three pieces of cloth, namely a shirt with no buttons, a loincloth (lungi), and a piece of cloth that is wrapped around the middle of the body. Additionally, a full-length cloak is wrapped around him, and an extra piece is thrown over his chest.

2⃣عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّهِ قَالَ یُکَفَّنُ الْمَیِّتُ فِی خَمْسَةِ أَثْوَابٍ قَمِیصٍ لَا یُزَرُّ عَلَیْهِ وَ إِزَارٍ وَ خِرْقَةٍ یُعَصَّبُ بِهَا وَسَطُهُ وَ بُرْدٍ یُلَفُّ فِیهِ وَ عِمَامَةٍ یُعْتَمُّ بِهَا وَ یُلْقَی فَضْلُهَا عَلَی صَدْرِهِ

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 145

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The deceased is wrapped in five pieces of cloth: a shirt without buttons, a loincloth that is tied around the middle of his body, a piece of cloth that is fastened around the waist, a full-length cloak in which he is wrapped, and a turban that is tied on him. The surplus of the turban is thrown over his chest.

3⃣عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ کَیْفَ تُکَفَّنُ الْمَرْأَةُفَقَالَ کَمَا یُکَفَّنُ الرَّجُلُ غَیْرَ أَنَّانَشُدُّعَلَی ثَدْیَیْهَاخِرْقَةً تَضُمُّ الثَّدْیَ إِلَی الصَّدْرِ وَتُشَدُّ عَلَی ظَهْرِهَا

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 147

One of the companions said: I asked Imam Sadiq, 'How is a woman shrouded?' He replied: Like a man, except that we attach a single piece of cloth to her chest, which is stuck to her breast, and we tie it around her waist.

4⃣عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ الْعِمَامَةُ لِلْمَیِّتِ مِنَ الْکَفَنِ هِیَ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا الْکَفَنُ الْمَفْرُوضُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَثْوَابٍ وَ ثَوْبٌ تَامٌّ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْهُ یُوَارَی فِیهِ جَسَدُهُ کُلُّهُ فَمَا زَادَ فَهُوَ سُنَّةٌ إِلَی أَنْ یَبْلُغَ خَمْسَةً فَمَا زَادَ فَمُبْتَدَعٌ وَ الْعِمَامَةُ سُنَّةٌ

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 144

Zurarah said: I asked Imam Baqir, peace be upon him, whether the turban is part of the shroud. The Imam replied: No, the obligatory shroud consists of three pieces of cloth. One of them is a complete and comprehensive piece of cloth covering the entire body. The more it exceeds these three, the more it is considered innovation, and the turban is part of the tradition.

5⃣عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِاللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَیِّتُ یُکَفَّنُ فِی ثَلَاثَةٍ سِوَی الْعِمَامَةِ وَ الْخِرْقَةِ یَشُدُّ بِهَا وَرِکَیْهِ لِکَیْلَا یَبْدُوَ مِنْهُ شَیْ ءٌ وَ الْخِرْقَةُ وَ الْعِمَامَةُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُمَا وَ لَیْسَتَا مِنَ الْکَفَنِ

📚 Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 92

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The deceased, other than the turban, is shrouded in three pieces of cloth. The loincloth (a piece of cloth with a width of one and a half times the span and a length of about two meters) is tightly tied around the upper thighs of the deceased so that nothing of him is exposed. The turban and loincloth must be present, although they are not part of the obligatory shroud.

6⃣ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ علیه السلام الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا مَاتَتْ نُفَسَاءَ وَ کَثُرَ دَمُهَا أُدْخِلَتْ إِلَی السُّرَّةِ فِی الْأَدَمِ أَوْ مِثْلِ الْأَدَمِ وَ تُنَظَّفُ ثُمَّ یُحْشَی الْقُبُلُ وَ الدُّبُرُ ثُمَّ تُکَفَّنُ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ

📚 Al-Tahzib, Vol. 3, p. 177

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: If a woman dies during her postpartum period, and her bleeding is excessive, a piece of leather resembling a leather bag is placed inside. She is cleaned, her navel is placed in the bag, her private parts and anus are filled with cotton, and then she is shrouded!

7⃣عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ (عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّهِ) في حديث قَالَ : وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا حَرَّمَ اَللَّهُ إِلاَّ وَ قَدْ أَحَلَّهُ لِمَنِ اُضْطُرَّ إِلَيْه

📚 Al-Tahzib, Vol. 1, p. 92

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said in a hadith: Anything that Allah has made forbidden is not permissible unless He has made it permissible for someone who is compelled and has no choice!

✅ Based on the above narrations and those mentioned here, the sections of the shroud for men and women are limited and specified. Anything beyond that is considered an innovation. In normal circumstances, the deceased should not be placed in nylon without direction and then shrouded.

✅ However, in cases of necessity or severe bleeding, it is permissible to place the deceased in a leather bag or something similar, such as nylon, and then shroud.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
