The Ruling on Bestowing the Reward of Good Deeds upon the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The reward of deeds, including fasting, prayer, and reciting the Qur'an, does it reach the deceased in the matter of bestowing the reward of deeds in this month?
Answer:
Prayer, no, because prayer is a physical act that does not allow for representation, so its reward is not bestowed upon the deceased or anyone else. Rather, it is charity and supplication whose reward is bestowed upon others. Yes.
