Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If his father has passed away, and we... is it permissible... the reward? No.
The Shaykh : By whom?
The questioner : To my parents.
The Shaykh : To your father, what specifically?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
Another questioner: And upon you peace.
The Shaykh : Whatever good you do, your father has a great share of it; because he is the cause of your upbringing and the cause of your obedience and worship. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. And the Messenger (peace be upon him) says in the authentic hadith: ; and therefore it came in another hadith, in whose chain there is weakness, but whose meaning is correct, that the Messenger (peace be upon him) is the most rewarded of people because he is the most followed of the prophets. So when he was the cause of the guidance of all the Muslims, the good deeds of every individual among the Muslims are written in the record of the Master of the Messengers; because he said (peace be upon him) in the other hadith: .
In this sense, the parents have a share of the righteous child's deeds; therefore he (peace be upon him) said:, and in another narration: Riyad as-Salihin 1383, and the mention of supplication here is not for restriction, but rather as an example; so whenever he prays this prayer, it is written for him, but his father has a share of it; because he is the one who raised him, he is the one who brought him up, and he is the one who taught him, and so it is with all acts of worship.
The questioner : All acts of worship except the prayer and the fast of Ramadan.
The Shaykh : No, look, no, no, I am speaking about the voluntary prayer. Your question was different: a man died and did not pray.
The questioner : And did not pray the obligatory prayers.
The Shaykh : Yes, so no one can make up for him, but when his son prays to his Lord, the reward is written for him and is also written for the father.
The questioner : This is a different matter.
The Shaykh : This is a different matter from that, is it clear? I think the matter is clear?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : By whom?
The questioner : To my parents.
The Shaykh : To your father, what specifically?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
Another questioner: And upon you peace.
The Shaykh : Whatever good you do, your father has a great share of it; because he is the cause of your upbringing and the cause of your obedience and worship. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The sweetest earnings are the earnings of a man from the work of his hand, and your children are from your earnings.
أطيب الكسب كسب الرجل من عمل يده ، وإن أولادكم من كسبكمWhoever introduces a good practice in Islam, he will have its reward and the reward of whoever works by it until the Day of Resurrection, without anything being deducted from their rewards.
مَن سَنَّ في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها ، وأجر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة ؛ دون أن ينقص من أجورهم شيءWhoever guides to good is like the one who does it.
مَن دلَّ على خير فهو كفاعلهIn this sense, the parents have a share of the righteous child's deeds; therefore he (peace be upon him) said:
When a person dies.
إذا مات الإنسانWhen a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).
إذا مات ابن ادم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث : صدقة جارية ، أو علم ينتفع به ، أو ولد صالح يدعو لهThe questioner : All acts of worship except the prayer and the fast of Ramadan.
The Shaykh : No, look, no, no, I am speaking about the voluntary prayer. Your question was different: a man died and did not pray.
The questioner : And did not pray the obligatory prayers.
The Shaykh : Yes, so no one can make up for him, but when his son prays to his Lord, the reward is written for him and is also written for the father.
The questioner : This is a different matter.
The Shaykh : This is a different matter from that, is it clear? I think the matter is clear?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
