Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: My father passed away in Ramadan while fasting, praying the 'Asr prayer. He completed the prayer except for the taslim; he did not say the taslim. Is this among the signs of righteousness and acceptance by Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
May the good return to him, if Allah wills. May the good return to him. His death in this state, whether he was in the mosque or fasting, brings him good if he was safe from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and persisting in sins. If he was safe from shirk and persisting in sins, his good returns to him, if his outward appearance was one of uprightness.
