Summary
The narrations about deeds being presented to deceased relatives, including those from Jabir bin Abdillah, Anas bin Malik and Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, are graded weak. Some scholars raise them to hasan li ghairihi because they support one another, although all are weak. The matter belongs to the unseen, so it cannot be judged by reason alone and must be referred to the texts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulan daripada perbahasan di atas, riwayat-riwayat yang menceritakan akan perihal tersebut adalah dhaif dan ada sebahagian ulama' yang mengangkat riwayat tersebut ke tahap hasan li ghairihi dengan sokongan riwayat-riwayat yang lain walaupun kesemuanya adalah dhaif.
