Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it prescribed for a Muslim to perform the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of his parents, or one of them, after their death, specifically if they did not bequeath it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of the living and the dead is permissible. One may perform the sacrifice on behalf of a deceased person and dedicate the reward of the sacrifice to the deceased, because this is a form of charity, and charity is given on behalf of both the living and the dead. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Is it permissible for him to include them with him in his sacrifice?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with including them with him in his sacrifice. Yes.
