Question:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Can anyone inform me if it’s permissible to put itr on a female kafn after ghusl? Putting camphor is masnoon but not sure of itr?

Answer:


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In Al-Hidayah it is mentioned that incense is applied to the kafn (burial shroud), and this is further elaborated upon to mean perfume, hence, camphor or itr can be applied. (1)
