Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I write a book and I want to dedicate its reward to my deceased mother (may Allah have mercy on her), he says: Is this action permissible?
Answer:
There is no harm if the book is beneficial, beneficial to the people, and you have not preceded it, then the work is good: spreading knowledge. But if there is no addition and nothing new, but rather it is repetition, my brother, buy books and endow them. Buy books for your mother and endow them for her. It is better than you tiring yourself out and gathering words that exist in books and not bringing anything new. Yes.
