The ruling on making du'a' for the deceased in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Our brother 'Abd al-'Aziz is asking—may you please—about making du'a' for the deceased in prayer?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with making du'a' for the deceased in prayer, and outside of prayer. One says: "O Allah, forgive me and my parents" in the tashahhud, between the two prostrations, in prostration. "O Allah, forgive my brother so-and-so," "O Allah, forgive my teacher so-and-so," "O Allah, forgive the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and be pleased with them," "O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah and reward him for us with good," and so on. One makes du'a' for whomever one wishes of the Muslims, in prostration, at the end of the prayer, between the two prostrations. These are places for du'a', whether for the living or the dead. Yes.
