• It is recommended to wear a white garment, though other colors are permissible.
• It is recommended to shroud the deceased in white.
• Ash-Shawkāni said: The Hadīth indicates the permissibility of wearing white and shrouding the deceased in it, as it is purer than other colors and more pleasant. As for it being more pleasant, this is obvious, and as for it being purer, it is because any impurity that falls on it is more apparent, making it preferable.
