The Ruling on Visiting a Father's Grave and Giving Charity on His Behalf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sa'id Masilh from Jazan says: My father passed away two years ago, and I go to visit his grave every month. Also, my brothers and I prepare a dinner at the end of every month as charity on behalf of our deceased, gathering the poor and children for it. What is the ruling on this practice?
Answer:
This is good. Visiting graves, visiting one's parents, and making du'a for them, as well as giving charity on their behalf with food, money, or whatever is easy, all of this is prescribed. If Allah accepts it, its reward benefits the parents. So the children should not forget their deceased, their fathers, and their mothers, even if it is only by making du'a for them for forgiveness and deliverance from the Fire. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
