We would suggest taking further advice on this subject from your own Alim or Mufti. Note: Under some Islamic jurisprudence the responsibility for arranging for a Kafan is placed on the individual and therefore it is important to make sure first if the Kafan is available from the family members of the individual who has passed away, and if at all possible the Kafan should first be purchased from the deceased own money. In many cases the deceased may have obtained a set and kept it for this occasion, please check with the family first. Kafan may also be available from your local mosque or some members of the family of the deceased. Kafan’s are usually available from most stores selling Asian clothing or shops specialising in Islamic products. There are different requirement for men and women but essentially the basics are that the Kafan consists of plain cotton or similar type of fabric, in a number of lengths of cloth (for men usually 3 lengths and for women usually 5 lengths) which are used to wrap the body after the ghusal is performed. Muslims are required to prepare the body before burial by performing the ghusal (ritual bathing of the deceased) and shrouding the body in a Kafan. Wafat does not discuss the different observance of fiqh of any sect or school of thought therefore, we advise that you contact your local alim or mufti for clarifications in regards to any aspect of Islamic jurisprudence. Wafat is a website that aims to help you find the information you need to obtain assistance with the burial needs of the deceased.
