The Ruling on Offering Other Sacrifices to the Dead

Question : For example, it is not all the sacrifices of the dead. All the sacrifices.

Answer : The rule of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) is that if the entire Qur'an is recited with the intention of benefiting a living or dead person, it benefits them. However, what I see is that we should not expand in this matter, because if we expanded in it, the second person who did this act on behalf of someone else would rely on others. So what I see is that what the Sunnah brought, this is on the basis of leniency and the established path, and it must be accepted; and what is not, then it is not.
