Islam mein maut ke baad deceased (mayyit) ko Ghusl dena aur Kafan (shroud) pehnana Fard-e-Kifayah (communal obligation) hai. Niche Hanafi school (Maslak-e-Hanafi) ke mutabiq iska aasan aur mukammal tarika pesh kiya gaya hai.

1. How to Give Ghusl to a Dead Body (Hanafi Method)

Step 1: Istinja (Gusl se Pehle ki Safai)

  • Washing table (Takhta) ko pehle loban ya incense se 3, 5, ya 7 martaba dhuni (scent) dekar mayyit ko uspar litayein.

  • Mayyit ka Satr (navel se ghutno tak mard ke liye, aur chest se ghutno tak aurat ke liye) ek mote kapde se cover karein.

  • Washer apne hathon mein gloves (dastane) pehan kar, bina satr ko dekhe aur bina direct chuye, kapde ke andar se mayyit ko Istinja karwayein.

Step 2: Wudu of the Deceased

  • Mayyit ko namaz ki tarah Wudu karwayein.

  • Note: Mouth aur nose mein pani nahi dala jayega. Balki geeli rui (wet cotton) se lips, daant, aur naak ke surakhon ko saaf kiya jayega.

  • Iske baad chehra, hath (kohniyo samet), sar ka masah, aur dono paon dhulwayein.

Step 3: Body Wash (Ghusl)

  • Garam pani (jo ber ke patto ke sath ubla ho) se pehle sar aur daadhi ko dhoiyein.

  • Mayyit ko baayein (left) karwat par litakar, daayein (right) taraf sar se lekar paon tak pani bahayein.

  • Phir daayein (right) karwat par litakar, baayein (left) taraf pani bahayein.

  • Aakhiri baar pure jism par Kaafoor (Camphor) mila hua pani bahayein aur mayyit ko naram towel se khushk (dry) kar lein.

2. Categories of Kafan & Male/Female Requirements

Kafan ki teen categories hoti hain:

  1. Zaroorat (Necessary)

  2. Kifaayat (Sufficient)

  3. Sunnat (Sunnat Method)

Kafan for a Male (3 Pieces):

  • Lifaafah: Sabse bada outer covering sheet.

  • Izaar: Sar se paon tak ka inner sheet (tahband).

  • Qamees (Kafni): Gale se lekar ghutno ke niche tak ka bina aasteen aur bina gale wala kapda.

Kafan for a Female (5 Pieces):

  • Lifaafah (Outer Sheet)

  • Izaar (Inner Sheet)

  • Qamees (Kafni/Shirt)

  • Orhnee: Sar dhakne ka kapda (1.5 yard / 1.4 meters).

  • Seena Band: Breast se lekar thigh (jaangh) tak ka chest-strap.

Kifaayat Kafan (Minimum Requirements):

  • Male ke liye: Sirf Lifaafah aur Izaar (2 kapde).

  • Female ke liye: Lifaafah, Izaar, aur Orhnee (3 kapde).

  • Note: Agar bilkul kapda na ho, to pure jism ko cover karne wala koi bhi ek kapda kafi ho jata hai.

3. Dimensions and Rules of Kafan (Hanafi Fiqh)

  • Lifaafah ka size: Yeh mayyit ke qadd (height) se thoda bada hona chahiye taaki dono ends (sar aur paon ke paas) se ise bandha ja sake.

  • Izaar ka size: Yeh sar se lekar paon tak hona chahiye (lifaafah se thoda chhota, taaki bandhne ki jagah bache).

  • Qamees (Kafni) ka size: Gale se lekar ghutno ke niche tak hona chahiye. Dhyaan rahe ki mard ki qamees kandhe (shoulder) ki taraf se kaati jati hai, jabki aurat ki chest ki taraf se.

  • Kafan ka Color aur Quality: Kafan ke liye Sufaid (White) kapda sabse afzal hai. Mard ke liye silk, zafran, ya peele rang (safflower dyed) ke kapde disallowed hain, jabki aurat ke liye inki ijazat hai.

  • Kafan ka kharch kaun dega?: Agar mayyit ke paas apna maal hai, to kharch uske maal se hoga. Agar maal nahi hai, to us shakhs ki zimmedari hai jo zindgi mein uske kharche ka zimmedar tha (jaise shohar biwi ke liye). Agar koi na ho, to Baitul Maal ya us ilaqe ke musalmano par yeh zimmedari aati hai.

4. Writing on the Kafan & Tabarrukaat

  • Ahad Naama aur Kalimah Likhna: Hanafi Fiqh ke mutabiq, mayyit ke forehead (peshani) ya Kafan par bina syahi (ink) ke, sirf ungli se “Bismillah” ya “Kalimah” likhna jaiz aur bais-e-rahmat hai. (Ref: Durre Mukhtar)

  • Tabarrukaat rakhna: Kafan ke andar buzurgon ke kapde, ya muqaddas cheezein (Tabarrukaat) barkat ke liye rakhna bilkul jaiz hai. Sahaba-e-Kiraam ne bhi aise wasiyat ki thi.

5. Step-by-Step Method of Shrouding (Kafan Pehnane Ka Tarika)

For Male (Mard Ka Kafan):

  1. Pehle sabse niche Lifaafah bichayein, phir uspar Izaar aur uske upar Qamees (Kafni) rakhein.

  2. Mayyit ko uspar litakar pehle Qamees pehnayein.

  3. Peshani, naak, dono hatheli, aur dono paon par Kaafoor (Camphor) lagayein.

  4. Phir Izaar ko pehle baayein (left) taraf se, phir daayein (right) taraf se lappet lein.

  5. Aakhiri mein Lifaafah ko bhi usi tarah left aur phir right se lappet kar sar aur paon dono end se rassi se bandh dein.

For Female (Aurat Ka Kafan):

  1. Kafni pehnane ke baad baalon ke do hisse karke chest par daal dein.

  2. Orhnee ko sar ke niche se lekar chehre par naqab ki tarah daal dein taaki woh chest tak aaye.

  3. Phir Izaar aur Lifaafah ko mard ke tarike par hi lapetein.

  4. Sabse aakhiri mein Seena-band ko breast ke upar se lekar thighs (jaangh) tak achhi tarah se bandh dein taaki kafan khule nahi.
