Seeing the deceased in a dream and giving charity on their behalf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister questioner says: Shaykh, if a deceased person is seen in a dream more than once, people say, "Give charity on his behalf, or pray for him, or make du'a for him."
Answer:
Nothing is obligatory based on the dream. The dream does not make charity, fasting, or any other act of worship obligatory. Doing good on behalf of the deceased, whether through charity, du'a, or Hajj or 'Umrah, is a required matter, and it benefits the deceased if Allah the Exalted accepts it. Yes.
