<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The best clothes are the white ones. They are purer and more pleasant, and they give brightness and indicate the purity of this Ummah and its members, as well as its creed. Indeed, clothing has impact on those who wear it.<br>
2) We should take care of how we shroud the dead, given their inviolability.
