The Permissibility of Supplicating for the Deceased at the Time of Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: What is the preferred saying for the dying person before his death? We ask for your guidance.
The Shaykh: Yes, what is it?
The presenter: He wants to know what is said for the dying person at the time of his death?
Answer: Nothing is said except good: “O Allah, forgive him,” “O Allah, have mercy on him,” “O Allah, keep him firm upon the truth,” and similar good words, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 538 For the dying person, nothing is said except good; good supplication, remembrance of Allah, seeking forgiveness, and supplicating for him with forgiveness and mercy.

Answer: Nothing is said except good: “O Allah, forgive him,” “O Allah, have mercy on him,” “O Allah, keep him firm upon the truth,” and similar good words, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not supplicate to Allah anything except that which is good for you (i.e. do not say anything which goes against you at that moment), because the angels (who are present at the time of death), say “Amin" (asking Allah to accept your invocation) to whatever you say.
لا تدعوا إلا بخير، فإن الملائكة تؤمن على ما تقولون
