Asking the deceased for supplication at his grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I am present at the grave of a deceased person and ask him to supplicate to Allah for me, what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
Nothing is asked of the deceased, and he is unable to do anything. The deceased is unable to supplicate; his deeds have ended. When a person dies, his deeds are cut off. He is unable to supplicate. Or is it the other way around? The deceased wants supplication from you, or are you the one asking him for supplication? Yes.
