The Ruling on Offering the Udhiyah on Behalf of a Deceased Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says regarding the 'Id sacrifice that they say it is only for the deceased.

Answer:
No, on the contrary, they say it is only for the living and that one does not sacrifice on behalf of the deceased. This is an anomalous opinion. The 'Id sacrifice is slaughtered for both the living and the deceased; in fact, the deceased is in greater need of it, because he is in greater need of charity and reward than the living. Yes.
