Hadith 719

وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَفَّنَ ابْنَهُ وَاقِدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَاتَ بِالْجُحْفَةِ مُحْرِمًا وَخَمَّرَ رَأْسَهُ وَوَجْهَهُ ، وَقَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ لَطَيَّبْنَاهُ " . ¤قَالَ مَالِك : وَإِنَّمَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ مَا دَامَ حَيًّا فَإِذَا مَاتَ فَقَدِ انْقَضَى الْعَمَلُ
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) gave a shroud to his son Waqid bin Abdullah, and he had died at Hajfah while in the state of ihram, and he said: If we had not been in ihram, we would have applied perfume to him and covered his head and face.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is because all the legal obligations are until life remains; when a person dies, his actions also come to an end.
