The ruling on affirming mercy for the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q328: The questioner says: When a person dies among us, his family repeats the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Fajr 89:28-30] , so what is the ruling on that?
A328: This is not prescribed, but one should make du'a' for the deceased. What is prescribed is to make du'a' for the deceased and not to praise him, for this is praise, and he does not know [the truth of the deceased's state], but he should hold a good opinion of his brother and make du'a' for him; this is what is required.
(28) Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], (29) And enter among My [righteous] servants (30) And enter My Paradise."
ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً (28) فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي (29) وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِيA328: This is not prescribed, but one should make du'a' for the deceased. What is prescribed is to make du'a' for the deceased and not to praise him, for this is praise, and he does not know [the truth of the deceased's state], but he should hold a good opinion of his brother and make du'a' for him; this is what is required.
