The Bequest Regarding Who Prays Over the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 16575 )
Q 2: Is it permissible for a person to bequeath to his family upon his death that a specific person, who holds a sound creed and is not a relative but a neighbor, should pray over him?
A 2: It is permissible for a person to bequeath upon his death that a specific person of righteousness and sound creed should pray over him, as that is more hopeful for the acceptance of the supplication. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
