The
Kafan or Shroud in English:
Consisting of 3 pieces of cloth for a male and
5 pieces of cloth for a female in our Janaza kit. There are
also 3 strips of cloth included: Long enough to be
tied around the shrouded deceased and knotted at the top
and bottom. It is recommended that the top should be tied differently than the bottom
to know the difference and where the head is located on the
body.
Big Sheet:
This will be the
final piece of cloth to be wrapped around the body and it is wide enough for the
ends to overlap. Lengthwise, will cover the body from head
to toe, with ample cloth at both ends to be gathered and
tied with the strips that are included in our Janazah kit.
Shirt:
To extend from the shoulder to the
knees to cover both the front and back.
Waist Cloth:
The width will be the same
as the other pieces of cloth that are being wrapped around
the body; the length should be from the navel to the ankles.
Chest Wrapper (female):
Our females
Janaza kit includes a female shroud cloth. It
is the fourth piece of cloth used when shrouding a Muslimah.
It's width will be similar
to the other pieces of the kafan or Islamic Shroud, but the length will be from the armpits
to the end of the rib-cage.
Underscarf:
The fifth piece of cloth
included in the female's Janazah Kit is cut
in the shape of a square. After folding it diagonally in
the shape of a triangle, it will be tied or tucked on the
head in such a way that the full forehead and ears are covered,
thus covering the head completely.
