Is it permissible to supplicate for the deceased before the funeral prayer, and what are the deeds that benefit the deceased in the afterlife?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in supplicating for the deceased before the funeral prayer; rather, it is مستحب (recommended) due to the deceased's need for it. There are other matters that bring good to the deceased, such as giving charity on their behalf and dedicating the reward of recitation to them.
