Prayer for the Deceased, Seeking Forgiveness for All Sins Committed During Their Lifetime.

Dream - Prayers for the deceased usually contain a plea for forgiveness for those who have preceded us. This prayer also serves as a way to sincerely let go of the departure of the deceased.

Prayer for the Deceased, Seeking Forgiveness for All Sins Committed During Their Lifetime

Releasing the departure of our loved ones is certainly very difficult. Especially if the person who passed away is someone we deeply love and respect. But as Muslims, we are not allowed to mourn someone's departure for too long. Mourning the departure of a deceased person will only make them restless in the afterlife. It is better to send prayers and seek forgiveness for the departed soul.

"Hukum" in English is "Law".

Ibnu Qudamah said that prayers, seeking forgiveness, charity, paying off debts, fulfilling unfulfilled obligations, can reach those who have passed away. However, all of this is regardless of the differences of opinion among scholars regarding whether these obligations can be delegated. Hanafi scholars mentioned that it is permissible to send the reward of reciting the Quran to the deceased. The reward also reaches the deceased and can be beneficial to them.

The famous opinion of Imam as-Syafii is that the majority of scholars prohibit giving the recitation of the Quran as a gift to the deceased, and it does not stop there. Meanwhile, some Shafi'i scholars mention that the reward can reach the deceased.

Artinya: "Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. And indeed, to our Lord we shall return. O Allah, write him among the righteous. Make his record in 'illiyyin. Replace him among his family from those who have left. Do not deprive us of his reward and do not put us to trial after him."
