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.
Pomegranate
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.
