The ruling on dedicating the reward of supplications and remembrances to the living and the dead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. It was reported in a hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3812Sahih (Darussalam) His sins are forgiven, even if they were as much as the foam of the sea, or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Is it permissible to say this, with the reward being for his deceased son?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with a person saying this dhikr or any other, and dedicating its reward to others, whether they are living or deceased relatives. That benefits them, by the permission of Allah; because this is like supplication. This is a dhikr that resembles supplication, and supplication for the dead and for Muslims is prescribed.

Whoever says: Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise is to Allah) one hundred times
