Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what are the righteous deeds for which it is prescribed to dedicate their reward to one's parents?
Answer:
Whatever is supported by evidence. The basis is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Najm 53:39] This is the basis, but there are authentic hadiths that specify this verse, stating that Hajj benefits others, that charity benefits others, that supplication benefits others, and that 'Umrah benefits others. Evidence has been reported for these, and one should restrict oneself to what has been reported, restricting oneself only to what has been reported.
