Preparing one's kafan before one's death
Question
My grandmother has prepared her own kafan and kafans of her children and husband. All of them are alive at the moment. Is it an established practice? If yes, does it have any virtue in Islam?
Answer
No, though permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
