The ruling on making du'a' (supplication) for the deceased other than a child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That Allah says: What kind of du'a' is there that one loves to seek forgiveness for, and hears about it, even if it is from other than one of the parents? So the du'a' of one of the siblings...

Answer:
So does du'a' for the deceased benefit him, even if he did not reach him? A righteous child who makes du'a' for him benefits him, and the du'a' of other than his child also benefits him, because Noah (peace be upon him) said:
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women.رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
[Nuh 71:28]
This is general. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing womenوَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
[Muhammad 47:19]
. Generally. And if you specify one of your Muslim brothers and make du'a' for him by his specific name, then that is a good thing. Yes.
