Is the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of a deceased person a religious innovation?

Question : The first question: If someone says that the 'Id sacrifice on behalf of a deceased person is a religious innovation, what is the answer to this statement? What is the answer to this statement? Yes. Yes, what is the answer to this? Man.

Answer : He says: Your statement is correct. Nothing has come from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Companions regarding sacrificing on behalf of anyone. However, the scholars say that the 'Id sacrifice is a voluntary act of giving wealth, meaning that one sacrifices, eats, gives charity, and benefits from the wealth. There is a basis for this in the Shari'ah, which is giving charity with it. And charity on behalf of a deceased person is established. In the two Sahihs, a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, my mother passed away and I think that if she had given charity, she would have done so. May I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes, give charity on her behalf." Similarly, Sabit ibn 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about charity for his mother, and he said that it is permissible. So they said that the 'Id sacrifice is like charity; since one benefits from it, it falls under this category from this perspective. It is not a blameworthy innovation. In any case, we hold that it is not prescribed and not recommended, meaning we do not say to a person: "You should sacrifice on his behalf and perform the rites for the deceased." But if he does it, it is permissible, for example, from the perspective of permissibility.
