Summary
Talqin, whether given at the point of death or after burial, is recommended. The article sets out two views: lineage to the father, based on the hadiths of Abu al-Darda' and Ibn Umar, and lineage to the mother, based on the hadith of Abu Umamah. The Abu al-Darda' hadith is disconnected in its chain, while the Abu Umamah hadith is weak but specific to talqin and is supported by corroborating reports and the practice of the people of Syam. This is an explanatory article by a research unit, not an official position of the Mufti of Selangor.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dari sudut hukum, talqin dalam kedua-dua keadaan ini hukumnya sunat.
