Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for me to offer a sacrifice for my mother, who passed away a few days ago, given that she had offered a sacrifice for herself during her lifetime?
Answer:
This question came to us yesterday. There is no sacrifice except during the time of the festival, 'Id al-Adha, and the days of Tashriq. That is the time for the sacrifice. As for now, there is no sacrifice. However, if he wishes to give charity on her behalf with meat, food, clothing, or money, that falls under the category of voluntary charity, not the category of sacrifice. Yes.
