Supplication from Children and from Muslims Is Beneficial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. He has a question in which he says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three thingsصلى الله عليه وسلم اذا مات ابن ادم انقطع عمله الا من ثلاث
Riyad as-Salihin 1383
and among them is a righteous child who supplicates for him. My question is: Does the supplication of someone other than a son benefit the deceased after his death? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, the supplication of Muslims is beneficial, whether they are children or others,
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded usرَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
. By faith, Allah the Exalted says 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]
This is a general statement, so the supplication of Muslims is beneficial. However, the supplication of a child is better, because it is part of being dutiful to one’s parents; the supplication of a child is better. Otherwise, the supplication of Muslims is beneficial, if Allah wills. Yes.
