Women's shroud… a woman provides a shroud to another

The scene of Hosnia carrying the shroud “Al-Quda” and providing it to another woman was strange and magnificent. It ended the bloodline between their families, after Hosnia's son killed the mother of the second, due to neighborhood disputes in one of the villages of Abu Tij in Asyut.

“Al-Quda” is for the killer to carry his shroud for a distance, surrounded by members of the reconciliation committee. He enters the pavilion until he reaches the owner of the blood feud and says to him, “I provide my shroud for you,” to which the person with blood feud responds, “I forgive you,” and they shake hands.

Thirty years ago, a dispute erupted between Abdel Sayed's family and Goda's family, which ended with the murder of a person from the first family and two from the second family, including a woman.

The security services and wise people from the village and the neighboring ones intervened, and they succeeded in persuading the two parties with reconciliation. And because a woman from Goda's family was killed, her family stipulated that a woman should provide the shroud.

Hosnia did not hesitate and agreed to provide the shroud to the daughter and end the bloodline.

Wearing a black smock, surrounded by a group of women, the accused's mother came forward, in a solemn gathering, carrying the shroud, and stood in front of Huda Ali, the victim's daughter. When Hosnia provided the shroud, head held high, to end the bloodline and offer coexistence "sacrifice" on behalf of her son accused of murder to the victim's daughter. The strangeness of the scene was in the feminization that first appeared in providing the shroud.
