Sacrificing on behalf of a deceased father and fulfilling his bequest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
It is available, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
Yes. The father's psychological state. That he treats him. Even if it is with the ruler, there is no harm.
The questioner:
Professor Sa'id.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Is the son absolutely required to sacrifice on his behalf permanently?
The Shaykh:
If he left behind wealth and a bequest.
The questioner:
The first one.
The Shaykh:
No, not more than that. If the father left behind a third, a quarter, or a fifth, it is not contradictory; he sacrifices from the money he received. However, if he bequeathed it to his son, this is a matter of dutifulness. If it is easy for him, he should do it; if it is not easy, there is no blame on him. But he should fulfill his father's bequest if he has the means.
