About this ebook

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said, the Messenger of Allaah (sallaallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘If a person dies, his actions cease except for three: A righteous child who makes du’aa for him, the continual charity that remains after he has died, and beneficial knowledge (that people benefit from).

A discussion on the common practise of Qur’aan Khwaanee, reciting the Qur’aan, alone or often in a group intending that the reward be granted to the deceased one. It is a practise often done to commemorate monthly or annual anniversaries of a friend or relative who passed away. This is a prevalent event which encompasses much of the Muslim world and has been passed down generation upon generation and is widely accepted and considered praiseworthy by many Muslims.

    The Legislative Position on Qur'aan Khwaanee - Shaykh Abu Muhammad Badee’ud-Deen Shaah ar-Raashidee as-Sindee

    The Leglislative Position on Qur’aan Khwaanee

    -Reciting the Qur’aan to Benefit the Deceased One-

    Shaykh Abu Muhammad Badee’ud-Deen Shaah

    ar-Raashidee as-Sindee [d. 1416H]

    The Muhaddith of the Indian Sub-Continent,

    Shaykh Badee’ud-Deen Shaah as-Sindee Quoted:

    "And that man can have nothing but what he does [good or bad]"

    "Imaam Shafi’ee and his followers have deduced from this blessed Aayah that the reward of reciting the Qur’aan did not allow it, nor did he urge his Companions (with this) through speech or action, nor is this action reported from any Companion. If good existed in this action, then they surely would have preceded us in it. Good deeds should be limited to only those which are legislated by the Sharee’ah. There is no room for one’s personal opinions or analogies. As for du’aa (supplication) and sadaqah (charity) reaching the deceased, then there is ijmaa’ah :

    said, ‘If a person dies, his actions cease except for three: A righteous child who makes du’aa for him, the continual charity that remains after he has died, and beneficial knowledge [that people benefit from].’"

    Translator’s Foreword

    All praise belongs to Allaah. We praise him, we seek His aid, and we seek His forgiveness. We believe in Him and we depend upon Him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped other than Allaah Alone, He has no partners. And I testify that Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is His slave and His Messenger. As for what follows:

    Indeed the best of speech is the book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). And all newly-invented matters are bid’ah (innovations in religion) and all innovations are misguidance and all
