The shroud of a minor

Question

How many pieces of cloth should be given to a deceased minor?

Answer

If he is close to puberty, he takes exactly the ruling of an adult. Even if he is younger than that, it is still best that he be given a complete shroud; however, there is also no harm in burying him in a single cloth.
