Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The listener Abu Rashid from Yemen says: Is it permissible to fast for the deceased, such as the father, if one designates a day or two in the week for the soul of my father, other than Monday and Thursday? Is it permissible, and does its reward reach him? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Fasting is specific to the one who fasts; there is no charity in it, and there is no maintaining of ties in it; it is specific to the one who fasts, yes.
