Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, the questioner also asks: Regarding the deceased, does the reward of acts of worship for which there is no explicit text, such as reciting the Qur'an and dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and others, reach the deceased?
Answer:
No, what reaches the deceased is only what is established by evidence that its reward reaches the deceased, such as charity, such as Hajj and 'Umrah, and such as making du'a' (supplication) for him. These are the matters whose reward reaches the deceased. As for anything else, Allah the Exalted says:[An-Najm 53:39-41]. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Shaykh,
