The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks: What is the ruling on giving charity on behalf of the deceased, such as a father, mother, or husband?
The Shaykh:
What is its ruling?
The questioner:
Giving charity on behalf of the deceased.
The Shaykh:
It is recommended, it is recommended. Sa'd ibn Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when his mother passed away; he had been dutiful to her. He asked him if he could give charity on her behalf? He said, “Yes, give charity on behalf of your mother. Yes.”
