Suhaib Webb – Reciting the Quran To Benefit The Dead

			Numerous text that support this act, and that's
		

			why the majority of the scholars allow it,
		

			specifically the hadith of Abu Dawood where the
		

			prophet said, if the deceased was Muslim and
		

			you're free a slave on his behalf, give
		

			charity on his behalf, or perform Hajj on
		

			his behalf.
		

			That he will receive the reward for that.
		

			In some of the books of the Hanafi
		

			Medhab, you actually find a chapter. Right? That's
		

			the chapter on the blessings of reciting the
		

			Quran reaching the deceased.
		

			Any act of kurba I'm gonna talk about
		

			in a second that someone does for deceased
		

			Muslim.
		

			The reward of that act of kurba, obedience
		

			and nearness to Allah will be given to
		

			the deceased as a blessing
		

			then it will be given to that person
		

			and be a benefit. There's another really beautiful
		

			quote that I wanna share with you that
		

			really touched me. And is recited on behalf
		

			of the deceased with the intention of sharing
		

			the blessings with them. The reciter gets the
		

			reward, and it is
		

			It is though the dead person is there
		

			listening to the Quran being recited because of
		

			that intention and they share in the those
		

			who don't allow it, they use 2 evidence.
		

			Number 1, of course, is Sultan Najim verse
		

			39
		

			that a person's reward in the hereafter or
		

			punishment is strictly based on what they strove
		

			for while they were alive. Evidence is the
		

			hadith that the actions of a person cease
		

			when they die except 3.
		

			The response to this from the majority is
		

			that, yes, those person's efforts, the person's effort
		

			for himself stops, but
		

			the other narrations make it very clear that
		

			each person is no longer able to work
		

			because they died.
		

			But the other narration show that others can,
		

			in fact, work on their behalf and send
		

			blessings
		

			and to them. Tonight inshallah late in the
		

			evening, I'm gonna read from a book an
		

			entire chapter with you. This in great detail
		

			the things that we can do to help
		

			and aid
		

			our beloveds who have passed away from the
		

			Muslimi.
