The texts

٥٧١ - مَسْأَلَةٌ: وَكَفَنُ الْمَرْأَةِ وَحَفْرُ قَبْرِهَا مِنْ رَأْسِ مَالِهَا، وَلَا يَلْزَمُ ذَلِكَ زَوْجَهَا، لِأَنَّ أَمْوَالَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَحْظُورَةٌ إلَّا بِنَصِّ قُرْآنٍ أَوْ سُنَّةٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -: «إنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ» . وَإِنَّمَا أَوْجَبَ تَعَالَى عَلَى الزَّوْجِ النَّفَقَةَ، وَالْكِسْوَةَ، وَالْإِسْكَانَ، وَلَا يُسَمَّى فِي اللُّغَةِ الَّتِي خَاطَبَنَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهَا الْكَفَنُ: كِسْوَةً، وَلَا الْقَبْرُ: إسْكَانًا [مَسْأَلَةٌ الصَّلَاة عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ]
