Hui funeral

Advocate the rapid burial of bodies, which shall not exceed three days. Hui people don't believe in feng shui pulse. As long as they are stable and dry, they can be used as cemeteries and tombs. After death, the guardian puts the body in the north, puts his feet in the south, pays condolences to relatives and friends, and gives money and things to help with funeral expenses, but it is forbidden to send flowers and couplets. The face and body of the deceased should be beautiful and clean, and the buried body should be shaved and shaved, and the long hair should be cut off, and the long hair in other parts should also be cut short or shaved off. Also trim your fingers and toenails to remove dirt. Before burial, clean the body with water (commonly known as "dipped in water"), and then put on a sleeveless collarless "Fan Kai" made of new white cloth. A man's "Fan Kai" is usually three. One is called "Pilahan" (Persian means "vest"), which is a white cloth covering the predecessor. One is called "nap sheet", which is a kind of white cloth, equivalent to a mattress under the body; One kind is called "big sleeping sheet", which is a white cloth that wraps the whole "buried body" in the outer layer. Women also need to add two pieces of white cloth to "open their mouths" to cover their heads and wrap their chests (also called waist wrapping). Hold a ceremony to turn to "Feida" (atonement). Then a ceremony of "folding Nazi" (funeral ceremony) was held. The undertaker is usually a prestigious imam. At the beginning of the ceremony, the "buried corpse" was placed in the "Tabuti" box (a large wooden box with no cover that can be pulled at the bottom), carried to the burial site, and placed on the tomb with the head facing north and west. The imam who presided over the ceremony prayed for the dead and led everyone to read "Praise the Lord" three times. After the ceremony, the "buried body" will be sent to the grave. The burial pit is a straight pit with a length of 2m, a width of 1 m and a depth of about 2m. A hole will be dug to the west at the bottom of the straight pit (limited to leveling the body). The burial body was put into the cave according to the code, the portal was sealed with adobe, the straight pit was filled with loess, and the ground was built into a ridge grave with brick soil. At the same time, on the way to "bury the body", it is necessary to sprinkle "Nie Tie" for the deceased, depending on family conditions. Moreover, the clothes of the deceased will be distributed to the corpse-washing personnel, relatives and friends, and some will also be distributed to people wearing white hats and Dai Xiao who come to send the "buried corpse". Every seven, twenty-seven, thirty-seven, forty days, one hundred days, anniversary, three years and ten years after the burial of the deceased, the imam should be invited to recite the scriptures as a memorial.
