Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Abu 'Abdullah ibn Taymah, says in his first question: Honorable Shaykh, my father passed away two months ago, and he left us an estate consisting of some money, paper currency, real estate, and some livestock. The question here is: Do we give him something from the inheritance, even though he did not bequeath it, may Allah have mercy on him, nor anything else such as Hajj or 'Umrah? Please give us a ruling, and may you be rewarded.
Answer:
If you voluntarily give him something from your own money, that is a good thing, and this is charity on behalf of the deceased. Charity on behalf of the deceased is prescribed, and its reward reaches him by the permission of Allah, if Allah the Exalted and Glorious accepts it. So the door of giving voluntarily for the deceased is prescribed and recommended, and it benefits the deceased by the permission of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, whether you all give or some of you give. Yes.
