Good Opinion of Allah and Deeds Whose Reward Reaches the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih. He says: My father passed away four months ago, and I think about him day and night to the point where my thoughts reach: What is he doing in his grave? How does he breathe? What has happened to him? What is his news? This thinking occupies my mind day and night, and I try to do my best to bring myself joy. What should I do?
The Shaykh:
Leave this suspicion and have a good opinion of Allah regarding your father, and make du'a' for him instead of being sad about what you mentioned. Yes.
The questioner:
Are there specific deeds whose reward reaches the deceased?
The Shaykh:
This needs clarification. This is general. Any good deed, if one intends it for the deceased, its reward reaches him.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
