Offering the reward of tawaf (circumambulation) of the Sacred House: Does the deceased benefit from it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the deceased benefit from the offering of the reward of tawaf (circumambulation) of the Sacred House?
Answer:
It requires evidence. People do this; in the school of jurisprudence, it is said that there is no harm in it. They say that if one performs a good deed and dedicates its reward to a Muslim, whether living or dead, that person benefits from it. This is in the text of al-Zad, but it requires evidence that tawaf (circumambulation) can be offered to others. However, what is prescribed without a doubt is that you perform tawaf (circumambulation) and make du'a (supplication) for the deceased. You perform tawaf (circumambulation) for yourself, and during the tawaf (circumambulation), you make du'a (supplication) for the deceased and seek forgiveness for him. Yes.
