Question:
This is one of the brothers, Abu Ibrahim from al-Majma', who says: Some people, after eating at an occasion or otherwise, assign the reward of this meal to so-and-so or so-and-so among the deceased, or to their parents. What is the validity of this practice?
Answer:
If the food was given to poor people in need, and the giver intended it for the deceased, or for his relatives, or for other Muslims, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a form of charity, and charity benefits the deceased. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
