Something that falls from the deceased: what is done with it

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla was asked about the nails and hair of the deceased after they are cut (what should be done with them). He said: They are to be placed with him.

Asim narrates from Ibn Sirin and the daughters of Sirin that whatever hair and the like of the deceased is cut is to be buried with him.

Uthman bin Ghiyath said: I heard al-Hasan say that if the nails and moustache of the deceased have grown long, they are to be trimmed. I asked him: Are they to be placed with him in the grave? He said: Yes.

Abu Qilabah said: It is best that they be placed with him in the grave.

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla said: Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by a man whose finger had become separated from him, and he placed it with him in the grave.

Hafsah (bint Sirin) said: The hair of the deceased is to be combed (straight), and his (fallen) hair is to be placed with him in the grave.
