Fasting on behalf of a deceased mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Muhammad from Riyadh, says: My mother passed away with fasting obligations remaining. I fasted on her behalf at the beginning of Shawwal, before the six days. What is your opinion on this? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
That is a good thing. If your mother had fasting obligations that she did not make up before she died, and you fasted on her behalf, that is an act of dutifulness and kindness toward her, and its reward will reach her, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, Shaykh.
