The ruling on the deceased's family saying to people: "Forgive your brother" and the like

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on the deceased's family saying to people: "Forgive your brother" or "Grant him pardon," and their saying: "Seek forgiveness for him"?

A: I do not know of any basis for this; however, if it is known that he was unjust toward them and he asked them to grant him pardon, there is nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, the request should be limited to supplication and seeking forgiveness.
