Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we always ask about the issue of offering the reward of good deeds to the deceased. My father and my mother were alive, and one might say that I fell short in caring for them. What is the ruling on offering the reward of deeds, such as charity, seeking forgiveness, and supplication?
Answer:
As for the deeds for which there is evidence that their reward is offered to the deceased, such as charity, Hajj, and 'Umrah, their reward is offered to the deceased. Similarly, supplication. These are matters established to benefit the deceased, by the permission of Allah, if Allah accepts them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
