The acts of worship whose reward reaches the deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another section. Honorable Shaykh, he also asks about the stronger position regarding whether acts of worship reach the deceased, and what are the things that reach them?

Answer:
The default is that a person's deed belongs to him, and that a person has only what he strives for, and that you will not be rewarded except for what you used to do. This is the default. What is excepted from this is what evidence has come regarding reaching the deceased from the deeds of others, such as the sacrifice on behalf of the deceased, such as charity on behalf of the deceased, such as supplication for the deceased, such as Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased. So, what evidence has come that it reaches the deceased, it is restricted to that. And what no evidence has come for, the default is that it belongs to the one who performed it, it is specific to the one who did it, and he does not direct it to another. Yes.
