JAREEDA
Jareeda are fresh twigs (without leaves) cut from a tree. This is a Mustahab action, which
has been highly recommended.
The twigs should be of arms length and the name of the
dead person together with his testimony in the Kalima and
the Imams (A) should be inscribed on them.
The twig on the right side should touch the
armpit while the one on the left hand side
should be kept above the armpit. The
Chaadar is then wrapped around the body.
