Mard aur aurat ke kafan mein farq

Mard aur aurat ke kafan mein farq ki bunyād Shari'at ke muqarrar kardah hayā, satr aur izzat-o-takreem ke usool hain. Islam ne jis tarah zindagi mein mard aur aurat ke baaz ahkām mein un ki fitrat aur pardah ke taqāzon ke mutābiq farq rakha hai, usi tarah wafāt ke baad kafan mein bhi yahi hikmat malhooz rakhi gayi hai.

Mard ka masnoon kafan teen kapron par mushtamil hai:

1. Izār (tehband)

2. Qamīs (baghair āsteen aur collar ke)

3. Lifāfah (upar ki chādar)

Jabke aurat ka masnoon kafan paanch kapron par mushtamil hai:

1. Izār

2. Qamīs

3. Lifāfah

4. Odhni (Khimār), jis se sar aur bāl dhānpe jāte hain.

5. Seenah-band (Lifāfat-us-Sadr), jo seenay ke hissay ko mazeed dhānkne ke liye hota hai.

Yeh izāfi do kapre is liye rakhe gaye hain ke aurat ki pardah-poshi aur hayā ka wahi ehtimām wafāt ke baad bhi bāqi rahe jo zindagi mein matloob tha. Is ka maqsad aurat par koi bojh dālna ya use mard se kam ya zyada fazīlat dena nahin, balkeh us ki izzat-o-takreem ko mazeed numāyān karna hai.

Albatta yeh bhi yād rahe ke agar kisi majboori, ghurbat ya adam-e-dastyābi ki wajah se paanch kapre mayassar na hon, to jitne kapron se mayyit ka satr achhi tarah dhak jāye, utne mein bhi kafan durust ho jata hai. Is liye paanch kapre masnoon hain, farz ya shart nahin.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (raziyallahu 'anhuma) se riwayat hai ke Rasulullah ﷺ ne farmaya:

“Albasū min thiyābikum al-bayād, fa innahā min khayri thiyābikum, wa kaffinū fīhā mawtākum.”

“Safed kapre pehna karo, kyun ke yeh tumhare behtareen kapron mein se hain, aur apne faut-shudgān ko bhi inhi mein kafan do.”

(Sunan Abi Dawud: 3878, Jami' Tirmidhi: 994)

Lehāza mard aur aurat ke kafan mein farq Shari'at ke hakeemāna hukm par mabni hai. Chunānche aurat ke liye zindagi mein pardah ka ehtimām zyada rakha gaya hai, is liye wafāt ke baad bhi us ke kafan mein izāfi pardah ka ehtimām kiya gaya hai. Yahi jamhoor fuqahā-e-ummat, khusūsan fuqahā-e-Ahnāf, ka mauqif hai.
