Hadith.413 - Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) was asked about a man who had purchased part of the covering of the Kaaba (Kiswah) and used some of it to fulfil a need, while some of it remained with him. He was asked whether it was permissible to sell the remaining part. Imam (as) said: "He may sell what he wants, give away what he does not need, use it, and seek its blessings." He was then asked if it was permissible to shroud a deceased person in it Imam (as) said: "No."
