Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abd Allah, mentions that the Honorable Shaykh wishes to build a mosque for his father, but he wants to include his paternal and maternal aunts in this mosque with the intention of sharing the reward; because they have no children, and he says they are in need of this deed.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, for Allah's grace is vast. If he builds this mosque with the intention that its reward reaches whom he wishes of his parents, his relatives, and his Muslim brothers, then Allah's grace is vast. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
