Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that reached us, this questioner says: Some relatives of the deceased print mushafs as a charity on his behalf after his death. The question is: They write on the first page of the mushaf, “A continuous charity for the soul of so-and-so, son of so-and-so.” We ask you to recite al-Fatihah and make du'a for him. Then they write some verses. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is an innovation; this is an innovated act, and this writing is not permissible. Deeds are by intentions, not by writing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
