Question
Can the personal clothing worn by a deceased be given to charity?
Answer
No, it may not be given to charity. His clothes also form part of his estate which is the property of his heirs. After distribution of the assets to the rightful heirs, the clothes may be given to charity by those who have received the garments as part of their shares of inheritance. Alternatively, one or more heirs may purchase the clothes at a fair price. The money will go into the estate while the clothing which have been bought may be given to charity.
