Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My mother passed away a few weeks ago, and I still remember her and feel remorse. Sometimes I say, “I wish I had died before her” or “I wish I had died in her place.” What is your guidance on this?
Answer:
Patience and seeking reward from Allah. You must be patient and seek reward from Allah. Do not wish for this, that you had died or that you had died before her. Instead, you must make du'a for her, seek forgiveness for her, and give charity on her behalf.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
