WHAT YOU CAN & CAN'T DO FOR YOUR DEAD RELATIVES & FRIENDS!

This video discusses the concept of gifting good deeds to the deceased in Islam. It begins with a hadith where a man asks the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if his mother, who passed away suddenly, would benefit from charity given on her behalf.

The Prophet ﷺ confirms this. The video continues with several examples from Hadith illustrating how various forms of good deeds, such as charity, Hajj, and fasting, performed on behalf of the deceased, can benefit them.

The speaker also explores the differing scholarly opinions on this matter, noting that some schools of thought allow for any good deed to be gifted to the deceased, while others restrict it.

The discussion concludes by emphasizing the importance of balancing between gifting deeds to others and keeping some for oneself.
