In regarding the ppl who answered my first question about Muslim funerals especially habayeb?

I did know we were to cover our heads when we went to my friends funeral, I was one of the few ppl that knew before hand and my husband and I along with our niece went out especially to buy a head scarf for this occasion. I was only asking why we were required to. some of u don%26#039;t need to be rude about it!!!!





Now I may as well ask one more question......


There were a lot of flowers and cards at the wife%26#039;s funeral but none for the husband. I was so upset that my husband went to the kiosk and brought a bunch of beautiful white flowers to lay on the grave. Do Muslims lay flowers on graved? I ask because there were hardly any flowers on the other graves and we were in a section reserved especially for Muslims.

Friend, I myself was not aware of your other question, I don%26#039;t know what country you are from, But here in the USA, many Religions has flowers or maybe a donation to that person favorite charity fund. My wife passed away in 1989 %26amp; she had flowers from many people. I know even here in the USA, the Muslum population may not have flowers,
Reply:OK let me try and give you a proper answer since Ive received 9 years of pure Islamic education.





Covering the head for a woman is a sign of modesty in Islam. It is required under all situations and not just funerals.





If people do it for the funeral..this is a cultural thing and not really islamic at all.





as for the flowers and the cards, these are still very much cultural and islam does not say anything about putting or not putting flowers on graves.





this is left upto the person..





the only thing Islam says is not to cry and wail out loud when visiting the graves..as it is a sign of immaturity and is disrespectful to the dead lying there.
Reply:you don%26#039;t want to know


you want to insult

Reply:You said in your earlier question that your friends died suddenly and unexpectedly.





Funerals are rituals that people use to try to %26quot;put to into place%26quot; the profoundly disturbing experience of death.





It is very normal for people to want everything to go %26quot;right%26quot; and smoothly, and for the proper customs and observances to take their natural course. It%26#039;s a kind of reassurance in the face of a shocking occurrence.





While few deaths are entirely expected, in this case it sounds like many people are struggling particularly hard to make this %26quot;right%26quot;. This is to be expected.





Please give yourself the space to grieve in the ways that make sense to you personally. Don%26#039;t worry too much about whether the formal ritual was %26quot;good enough%26quot; or not.
Reply:Don%26#039;t be upset.





Sometimes muslyms can get really ANGRY.





Take Care.
Reply:if you go with a hijab to the funeral you are showing respect to Muslim traditions not to the late person.





Muslims don%26#039;t use flowers in their funerals it is just a matter of tradition.





God bless





BTW your questions were very polite and showed that you cared to understand the traditions of Muslims. I am sorry that you had some rude answers as you said but they MAY not be Muslims who were rude
