Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Honorable Shaykh Abu Muhammad, says: My father passed away and left behind nothing of the world's possessions. I want to be dutiful to him, so what will reach him after his death?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. What reaches him is what you send on his behalf with your intention, such as charity on his behalf, such as the 'Id sacrifice for him, such as supplication, supplication for him, such as an endowment you establish for him, making its reward for him and its income's reward for him. Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf are likewise. All of this reaches him if Allah the Exalted accepts it. Yes.
