Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is Muhammad al-Amin Abu al-Qasim from Sudan, from the Northern Region. He sent us this message saying: Does one who plants palm trees or crops or anything else receive a reward after his death, and his heirs benefit from this palm tree? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: Yes, it is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2320 So these crops that a Muslim plants, or that he plants from palm trees or other trees, he has a reward for them. And whatever is taken from them, whether an animal grazes on this greenery, or a bird eats, or a person passes by and eats, it is charity for him. And likewise, whatever he takes from them and gives in charity to people, and likewise, whatever he gives to his family, all of this is from the good that results from this planting.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
Answer: Yes, it is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift for him.
