Fatwa #558813 May 2002United States of America

Based on the Hadith, if one uses the intercession of their good deeds, does this result in the good deed getting “used-up”? Or do we still get the due reward for the good deed in the Hereafter?

Answer

One may make his good deeds as intercession many times.

It does not mean that if a person used his good deeds as intercession or as
a means of trying to fulfil some worldly need, then it gets 'used up' and
the good deeds no more stands in credit for him. He will definitely be
rewarded for that good deed in the hereafter, in fact, he may even use the
intercession of those very same good deeds for several other worldly needs
as well.
