The Meaning of the Righteous Child in the Hadith Regarding the Cessation of the Deceased's Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In his statement (peace and blessings be upon him)
or a pious child, who prays for himأو ولد صالح يدعو له
Sahih Muslim 1631
, does the intended meaning of the righteous child refer to one who prays, fasts, and commits some sins, or does it refer to one who is pious and pure, with no sins at all?

Answer:
No one is free from sin, but the righteous child is the one who fulfills the obligatory duties and avoids the forbidden. The fact that he commits some sins does not prevent him from being righteous. Yes.
