Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Hisham from al-Kharj says: Is it permissible to perform 'Umrah on behalf of a deceased person?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is an act of devotion that benefits him, with the permission of Allah. Performing Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased is a beneficial matter, praise be to Allah, and it is prescribed. It is among the deeds that reach the deceased if Allah accepts them.
The questioner:
Is completing the recitation of the Noble Qur'an also among the deeds that reach the deceased?
The Shaykh:
This has not been transmitted. The Qur'an is not recited on behalf of the deceased, but rather supplication is made for him. Yes.
