Best of you

28. "The best of the world's women are four: Maryum bint 'Imrân, Khadîjah bint Khuwaylid, Fâtimah bint Muhammad and Âsiyah the wife of Fir'awn." [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

at-Tawwaaf and Completing the Qur'aan (by reciting it all) for the Dead

 


Question:

I sometimes make Tawaaf for one of my relatives or for my parents, or for my grandparents that have died, what is the ruling on this? And also, what is the ruling upon completing the Qur'aan for them (by reciting it)? May Allaah reward you with good.
Answer:

It is better that this (act) is left, because of the lack of evidence for it. However the charity has been legislated for you, for whom you love from your next of kin and other than them, if they were Muslims, and supplicating for them, making the Hajj and the 'Umrah for them. As for establishing the Prayer (ÇáÕáÇÉ) for them, and making Tawaaf for them, reciting the Qur'aan for them, then it is better to abandon this because of the lack of evidence for it.
And some of the people of knowledge allow this by making analogy with charity and supplication, (as a) precaution this should be left.

And success is with Allaah.
