The Life in The Barzakh #9: Gifting Deeds to the Dead (Part 2) | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi

[@saobanmaria]

I watched it earlier; my mother passed away two weeks ago, I am watching it again to make a to do list for my mother and also want to circulate it to my relatives to pray for their deceased parents. May Allah SWT grant his blessings for YQ and his family.

[@Kimeikus]

0:19:07 Major respect to Yasir Qadhi for this. He accurately represents all of the different perspectives. Whenever there’s room for opinions, I like to formulate my own and take the one that resonates with me instead of being told what to think.

[@oldisgold62]

This is one of the the most thorough and thoughtful analysis of sadqa-e-jariah. It's important to note that the questions mentioned were about sadqa, haj-e-badal, and fasting on someone's behalf - someone you believe in and care about because of their impact on you. This obligation may stem from their influence or relationship with you. Where there's is no hadith about Companions asking about Quran reading for their loved ones, there is also no hadith about Prophet PBUH stopping the practice. Similar practices in Judaism are done by reading Torah to ease the transition of the soul and include 3-day or 40-day prayers mourning periods. While the lecture suggests that doing sadqa, roza, or haj may be preferred, the most convenient form of Zikar/deed for deceased families are dua and Quran reading. Other methods should not be ignored but you can not aske people to stop Quran reading and leave for Haj first. Reading the Quran can not be considered a bidah or sin. It's a collection of God's message and prayers. Aren't we praying Namaze-Jinazah for dead which has prayers and Surah for his benefit? All forms of Zikar are made for ones Ibadat and one form can not become Bidah. Only Allah SWT knows which dua or good deed He will accept and send to your loved ones. Coming together to read the Quran instead of gossiping when a family is mourning cannot be wrong. The practice of Soyam and the 40-day transition of the soul from earth is an ancient practice from Judaism based on the old testament.

Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah Wa-barakath Yasir bhai Iam from India and love your lectures vvv much Yasir bhai and even I believe that any deed can be given from living to dead or alive because Allah says in quran that at the day of akhira relatives will be running away from each other that they might ask the deeds. so they run away fromone another I have also heard a wakhiyah of akhirah . That at the day of judgment allah will be judging a person and he will be need only one amaal to go to Jannah and Allah will say get me a one more deed and I will send you to Jannah then he will go and ask his all family members but no one will give .but then a unknown person who has only one deed in his lifetime he will give to him and he will return to allah with very happyness and says I have got one deed. allah will ask him who gave u then he will say fula fula gave.then allah will ask to bring that person who gave his deed to him and then allah will ask that person that do u gave the deed to him .he will say yes but Allah will ask where as u have only one amaal in ur account still wanted to give the amaal. then the unknown man will say Allah I know that I have only one amaal in my account anyhow I know I can't go to Jannah but this slave of yours can do so. so I thought I can benefit this man by doing so where as iam anyhow jahannam .by looking at this unknown person's action allah gets so impressed that allah sends Jannah to both of them.then the unknown person asks that why is he(one deed man) also being send to Jannah then allah says on the day of justice (akhirah) no one is mercy full than me (allah) so allah sends both to Jannah ....by looking at this wakhiyah we can conclude that even at akhirah deeds can be donated or given to any one and so as here on earth live to dead or living to living can do it makes a sence a logic.

With due respect I believe we need to follow Muhammad S.A.W more than any imaam. Our prophet said im leaving you with quran and my sunnah. Today we see so much division in islam just because each of our scholars gave their opinions and ppl made those opinions as the real islam and left what Muhammad said or did. To me, i am a simple muslim with no sect or following any one imaam. Quran told me to ponder over things myself too so i think in the light of quran and sunnah and listen to scholars who speak in the light of quran and sunnah and then do what is told. My father recently passed away due to covid and since he died, i have been reciting duas all day, recited by Muhammad S.A.W, mentioned in ahadith and we are doing sadqa and distributing quran manuscripts and doing all other things to benefit our father. I think this is what was recommended by Muhammad very explicitly. And these duas are so so beautiful and a complete package for the deceased that I wonder we are asking Allah for and gifting every beautiful thing to the deceased. Finally whatever we do is to be accepted by Allah but at least we should follow quran and sunnah strictly first and then any new opinions by scholars later. I live in pakistan and you might not have a clear idea of what happens here in the name of quran recitation for the deceased. The muslims do not recite quran or act upon quran themselves, their whole life and we recite quran to get them forgiven when they die. This never happened in the life of Muhammad S.A.W and his practice is above every scholar's opinion.

Assalamualaikum recently a practising muslim colleague who was married to a non muslim passed. Her only daughter is also non Muslim. She, on her death- bed made her non muslim sister and muslim friends promise that they will give her a muslim burial. They did as she wished. Her sister also organised a 40day katam, the muslims sat at the front of the hall and non Muslim relatives sat at the back.They also wore hijaab. A Moulana convened and the Muslims were each given copies of Yaseen surah to read. The moulana claimed it was a first time where he had to officiate at a mixed gathering at a katam,seems a new norm in South Africa.

Is it not possible for a scholar past or present to make a mistake? If they bring their evidence then alhamdulillah, but we cannot tie ourself down to a specific individual regardless of how great of a scholar they may be. Using qiyaas over text is not acceptable and the burden of proof in relation to worship (ibaadat) is upon the person claiming that reading Quraan for the deceased is permissible. Why not adhere strictly to what the Sahaba did clearly, Allah has preserved our religion and if it has not come to us that they did such a thing then better to refrain.

[@wajahat6200able]

Wait hold up.... I was told you could give all your good deeds to the people who have passed away and you retain your good deeds.... Ex: today I prayed 5 namaaz and read a little bit of Qur'an and at the end of day or after Isha namaaz I gift all those deeds to my grandparents who have passed away and every other Muslim who is no longer living, I gift them but I also get to keep the sawaab (hasanat) of that deed. Since Allah is soo great that he doesn't need to take away your deed to give to someone else. He can give them the ajar while you still hold on your own deed. This is what I was taught or told. But this man says once you gift then you no longer have that deed.....

Episode 9 Notes: Gifting Deeds to the Dead What can the living do to benefit the Dead? This is an Aqeedah and Fiqh issue. However, there are certain deeds which are established from the Hadith, to benefit a deceased Muslim. Actions that benefit a deceased Muslim if done by a living Muslim: The below actions are from Authentic Hadiths and thus agreed upon by scholars:  Any Sadaqah Jaariyah the deceased did during their life. i.e perpetual charity.  A righteous child who prays for his deceased parents.  Beneficial knowledge that the dead left behind. This would Include any Dawah they gave.  When the living makes Dua for the deceased.  When the living makes Istighfar for the deceased.  When the living gives Sadaqah on behalf of the deceased.  When the living gives Sadaqah Jaariyah on behalf of the deceased. (Giving a water well especially is encouraged.)  When the living Muslim does Hajj & Umrah for the deceased. You can do the 1 Fardh Hajj and any extra Nafl Hajj for the deceased. However, you can only do this, if you have done your own 1 Fardh Hajj first. Hajj and Umrah can be done for any Muslim meaning it isn’t limited to parents.  Doing the Qadha fasting of the deceased parent. Children should make up the Qadha Fardh fasts of their parents. Children are allowed to split the Qadha fasts between themselves or pay fidyah, if they are unable to do them.  Doing Nafl Fasting on behalf of the deceased.  Giving Udhiyah on behalf of the deceased parents. 5 Things a child can do after their parents die: 1. Make Dua for them. 2. Make Istighfar for them. 3. Fulfil any oaths or promises they made prior to death. 4. Visit their family and friends. 5. Be generous with their friends The View of the 4 Fiqh Schools: Abu Hanifa RH and the Hanafi Madhab as a whole, has been the most consistent in their view on this topic. Hanafi’s believe its allowed to give any good deed to as gift to the deceased. This includes even giving Salaah, Fasting and Reciting Quran. Most of them even allow gifting of good deeds to the living. Imam Al Shafi RH believed nothing other Fasting, Sadaqah, Dua and istighfar can be gifted to the dead. However over the course of history, the Shafi Madhab has completely changed its view on this. This change first occurred in Medieval times and eventually it became the majority. Shafi Fiqh now permits the gifting any good deeds to the deceased, including reciting the Quran. This is the dominant position now and Imam Shafi’s RH view is discarded. Imam Malik RH, like Imam Al Shafi RH, believed nothing other Fasting, Sadaqah, Dua and istighfar can be gifted to the dead. The Maliki Madhab during the course of history, had a second view which permits the gifting of good deeds. However unlike Shafi Fiqh, there are two opinions in Maliki Fiqh on this issue. The first is those who follow Imam Malik RHs view and the second is those who permit gifting of good deeds. The Hanbali Fiqh school and its founder Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal RH, allowed the gifting of good deeds, without any restrictions including Quran. Generally, they didn’t allow gifting good deeds to the living, unlike the Hanafi’s. Ibn Qudama, Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim held the same view as early Hanbali’s. Ibn Qayyim RH went on to give many reasons, for why he believes gifting good deeds is allowed. He mentioned how Hadiths are explicit on Hajj, Sadaqah, Fasting being giftable. He then extrapolated this out to any good deeds even reciting Qur’an. Furthermore, Ibn Qayyim RH mentioned how we cannot prove or disprove, if the Salaf recited Quran and did Salaah for the deceased. Ibn Taymiyyah was not against people coming together as a group, in order to recite Quran for the deceased. But, he disliked money being involved or the Qurah being paid to recite. Conclusion Essentially, the entire Ummah generally believes its allowed to gift good deeds to the dead and the only ones who strongly counter this, is the Salafist/Wahabist movements. It is important to mention, gifting your good deeds to someone, means you lose the reward for that good deed and it goes to the person you gifted it too. At the same time, you should hope Allah SWT will give you, the good deed of giving away your precious good deed, to a loved one. Also theoretically speaking. it is possible for Allah SWT to give both the deceased and you the good deed, for what you gave away. But this isn’t promised anywhere. So we should be wise and ensure we leave good deeds for ourselves too. Lastly good deeds like a Hajj, can be given to more than one person meaning good deeds can be split and given to multiple people. Fun Trivia fact: The best time to make Dua for someone who has died, is during their Salaat Al Janazah and right after they are buried. Fun Trivia fact: Only say good things about the deceased after their death. Fun Trivia fact: A Nadhr is a vow that one makes to Allah SWT and it must be kept. It usually involves the Muslim saying “Oh Allah, if you give me x I will do y”. These must be kept. Fun Trivia fact: Hajj Badal, is when a Muslim performs Hajj on behalf of someone who is unable to perform it i.e because they are ill, disabled or dead. Fun Trivia fact: There is a narration which mentions, you should recite Surah Yasin at the bed of a Muslim who is about to die. This is because Surah Yasin can ease the Sakarat Al Maut. ======================================================================== Disclaimer for my Notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Life in the Barzakh Series Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, these are my notes on Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Life in the Barzakh series. Please note: I HIGHLY recommend that you all watch YQ’s Barzakh series, as I DON’T cover every single detail the Sheikh mentions. I made these notes primarily for myself but, decided my fellow brothers and sisters may benefit from them too. I no doubt will have made mistakes in my notes. All the good in these notes is from Allah SWT and all the mistakes are from myself. But, I was very meticulous and tried my best to make sure everything is accurate as the Sheikh mentions it. You also will see I have added “Fun Trivia facts” under each of my notes. These FTFs are information YQ said that was off topic or not necessary to include in my notes for the episode. But, they were still worth mentioning hence the inclusion as FTFs. FTFs aren’t always HAPPY pieces of information. Sometimes they are very sad trivia. I just want to say that FTF is the phrase I used for them all collectively when making the notes. One thing I wanted to do but am too lazy to do is, maybe someone could take the FTFs from under each “Episode” and make an Islamic reminder/information IG/TikTok account and post them daily or something. It Could be a great form of Sadaqah Jaariyah. Lastly, I have uploaded the notes to Dropbox, if anyone wants them in one document then comment below. I also have done notes on Sheikh YQs Seerah series and Mothers of the Believers series. You can find them below the episodes on his channel in comments. Please keep me in your Duas and ask Allah SWT to forgive all our sins. Ameen!
