Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on bestowing the reward of deeds upon the living?

Answer:
What is supported by evidence is permissible, for the living and the dead alike. As for what is not supported by evidence, it is not permissible. He said: “A person has only what he has earned.”
