My father passed away two months ago, and I am currently performing charity on his behalf, which is feeding the fasting people. Is it better for me to intend a share of the charity for myself?

The questioner : A questioner says: My father passed away two months ago, and I am currently performing charity on his behalf, which is feeding the fasting people. Is it better for me to intend a share of the charity for myself?

The Shaykh : It is better for you to make du'a' for your father and leave the charity for yourself. The evidence for this is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . He did not say to give charity on his behalf. So it is better for you, my brother, to make du'a' for your father during the tawaf, in the prayer, and in everything in which du'a' is made. As for the charity, leave it for yourself. Yes.
