Seeking Forgiveness from the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, this questioner says: Is it permissible for me to seek forgiveness from the deceased whom I wronged during his lifetime?
Answer:
Nothing is sought from the deceased because he is dead and is unable to do anything. Allah the Exalted said:[Fatir 35:22] It is only upon the wrongdoer to repent, to supplicate for the deceased with mercy, and to do good deeds for the deceased, so that perhaps Allah will accept his repentance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
