Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one has not memorized the supplication for the deceased, is it permissible for him to read it from a small piece of paper while in prayer?
Answer:
No, he has no need for that. He should supplicate with whatever comes to mind. If he repeats, "O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, have mercy on him, O Allah, turn to him in mercy," that is sufficient. Yes.
