Chapter on Guiding the Dying, Positioning Them at Death, Procedures for Their Final Moments, Washing Them, and Placing Them in Shrouds

The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, said: "If one is unable to place the palm branch with his deceased in the shroud due to precaution against opposition from those who disagree and their accusations of falsehoods, then let him bury it with the deceased in the grave. And if he is unable to do even that or fears harm due to any reason, then there is no blame upon him for leaving it. Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Most High, accepts his excuse in times of necessity."
