The ruling on sacrificing on behalf of the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Awthal says in this question: Some people are very keen to sacrifice on behalf of the deceased and do not sacrifice for themselves, and this is a belief they have held for a long time. Which is better, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is better to sacrifice for oneself and for the deceased, by sharing the sacrifice with the deceased, intending it for himself and for the deceased. This is the best. As for if he makes it exclusively for himself or exclusively for the deceased, that is permissible, but the best is to include the living and the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed a ram for himself and his household, and another ram for himself and for those of the Ummah of Muhammad who did not sacrifice.
