How can the noble verse, "That no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another," be reconciled with intercession and dedicating the reward of some deeds to the deceased?
The intercession of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for the major sinners among his nation is established and sound, just as he explained that his answered supplication is reserved for intercession for his nation on the Day of Resurrection, and that it will reach whoever dies without associating anything with Allah. The reward for the deeds of the living can reach the dead, and this does not contradict His, the Almighty's, saying: "That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another," nor His saying: "And that there is not for man except that for which he strives." The people of knowledge have clarified this.
