When a friend of a group of people dies and a person has a wrong done to him by this deceased, he says, “May Allah not permit you…”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When a relative or friend of a group of people dies and a person has a wrong done to him by this deceased, he says, “May Allah not permit you” or “May Allah not make you lawful.” Does this statement affect the deceased?
The Shaykh : If the deceased was transgressing against the servants of Allah and owed them rights, whether financial, regarding their honor, or regarding their blood, he will be demanded for it on the Day of Resurrection, because the rights of the servants of Allah are never lost.
However, what is recommended for one who has a right over a deceased person is to be lenient with him and to pardon him, because the deceased is now in the abode of retribution, punishment, and reproach for the rights of the servants of Allah. This is except in the case of a large financial right where the owner is in need; in that case, it may be more appropriate to claim it from his estate, if he left an estate, in order to meet the need of the owner of the right.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
