Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. Recently, it has become common to send links to websites on the internet that contain audio materials, whether Qur'an, supplications, or lessons. The sender says that it is charity on behalf of the deceased so-and-so. Does this count as charity on behalf of the deceased? And what is the ruling on requesting the sharing of these things with the intention of charity on behalf of the deceased and supplicating for him?
Answer:
By Allah, not everything that is published is to be accepted until one verifies it and its source, whether on the internet or elsewhere, until one verifies it, knows its meaning, and knows who said it. As for the deceased, it is better that you give charity on his behalf, or buy books and endow them, and make their reward for him. Yes. It is not permissible.
