Summary
The fatwa states that supplication, charity and pilgrimage performed on behalf of a deceased person reach them with the permission of Allah. Supplication is supported by a Quranic verse and the prayers recited in the funeral prayer. Charity on their behalf is based on the hadith of Aisyah RA and includes endowing a mushaf or digging a well. Performing Hajj for a deceased person who had not done so is based on the hadith of Buraidah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Amalan sedekah, berdoa, dan haji untuk orang yang sudah meninggal dunia sampai pahalanya kepada mereka, dengan izin Allah Taala.
