As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Again, you continue to type your questions in this language that no one understands other than yourself. Please type all questions in ENGLISH ONLY.

First of all, you are very misinformed. When a person is dead they are dead. They can not hear you or see you and it is shirk to go around talking and praying to the dead. Also, when a person dies all his deeds end there.

The correct view is that if a Muslim parent dies then his or her children can make Duaa for them....that is it. And again, this is only for a Muslim parent not a kaafir and there is a big difference between making duaa asking Allah to forgive someones sins and praying to or for a person.

In regards to fasting, we do not fast for dead people however, if your mother died and you knew she had some days of fasting from Ramadhan to make up, you can make those days up for her because this is a debt she owed to Allah and the Prophet(saw) said we can pay off the debts our deceased owed.

The same in regards to Hajj. If your relative died and had never made Hajj, you can make hajj on behalf of them because again this is a debt that they owed to Allah.

The last thing you can do for a deceased is to give something in charity for them. A man once came to the prophet(saw) and said his relative had died and he knew she would have given some money in charity. The prophet(saw) told him to give the money on behalf of her in charity and the man did.

Those are the only things you can do for a dead person. Anything else is Shirk.

We do not recite Quran for dead people because this is Shirk. They can not hear you for they are dead. We also do not meet in gatherings for dead people either..this too is Shirk. We do not make Nafil salats for dead people.. this too is shirk.. dead is dead.

I suggest you join the website and participate in the classes to better understand your religion. Also go to the taped lectures section of the website and listen to the tapes on what is Shirk and Bidah..

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
