Seeking Forgiveness from the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on asking for forgiveness from the deceased, such that I say, “Forgive me, O my father, for what I did,” while he is dead?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Nor is forgiveness sought from the deceased, nor is anything sought from him. Forgiveness is not sought from him after his death, and he does not hear you. However, you should seek forgiveness for him, give charity on his behalf, and repent to Allah for your shortcoming in his rights. Yes.
