As a result, many teenagers do not master the skills of caring for corpses and their specifications during the shroud process. In fact, it is on the shoulders of teenagers to preserve the culture of shrouding corpses. If this phenomenon is allowed to continue, there will be a cadre crisis in preserving the culture of caring for corpses in the style of ahlusunnah wal congregation, so it is feared that there will be a scarcity of young Muslim cadres who are experts in shrouding corpses.
