The death of a mother who was buried without a funeral prayer for her and whose grave is unknown
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a question from one of the worshippers. He says: Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. My mother passed away approximately forty-five years ago, and no funeral prayer was performed for her because the imam was not present, and she was buried without a prayer. So what is required of us regarding our mother? Knowing that I do not know her grave in the cemetery.
The Shaykh:
What has passed has passed. You should supplicate for her with forgiveness and mercy. Praise be to Allah, that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
You do not remember anything specific, just stories, but you do not remember the details of the hadith. However, in any case, whoever acts upon it, its intercession returns to him, just as it is mentioned in the hadith that it will argue on behalf of its owner on the Day of Resurrection.
The questioner:
If the second one… it returns to Allah from him.
The Shaykh:
This is if he acts upon the Qur’an. It is an argument for you, or an argument against you if you do not act upon it. This was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih.
