A question about Esaale sawaab
Question
I want to know if I pray nafl salah for my dead mother and father will they receive the salah, if I give charity, will they get the reward? Please answer me, anything you send to a dead person, do they receive it?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The deceased do get the reward for a good deed you enact with the intention of gifting them the reward such as the recitation of the Qurān and voluntary prayers and charity. [1] [2] [3]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
