Is this correct? A. Yes, you should not use that cloth as Kafan, because of the difficulty mentioned in your question. But you may put that "Kafan" on the chest of "Mayyit" above the usual Kafan. Q 76: ONE KAFAN AND TWO MAYYITS I have one person's kafan, and there are two deaths in house, mother's and wife's. Now to whom should I give kafan first, and why? A. Kafan of a wife is wajib (obligatory) on the husband. Other people's Kafan is wajib from the inheritance left by them.
Therefore, in the situation mentioned in the question, that Kafan would be given to the wife. So far as the mother is concerned, if she has left money or a thing sufficient for the Kafan, then the Kafan would be provided from it. Otherwise, the same clothes she had at the time of death should be used as Kafan for her. Of course, it is an act of highest thawab to give Kafan to a believer. That is doubly emphasized in the case of relatives.
Therefore, you should obtain her Kafan even if you have to take loan. Otherwise, other believers should give her Kafan. Q77: WHY POUR WATER ON GRAVE? What does it mean to pour water, or to plant flowers or plants, on the graves? A. To pour water on the grave after burial is Sunnah. According to some Ahadith, it is Sunnah to do so upto 40 days.
