Is it permissible to write electronic messages to a deceased mother to express longing and pray for her, while avoiding disbelief or seeking intercession?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We advise you to refrain from sending messages and writing about renewing grief over your deceased mother, as it may lead to abandoning work and despair. Moreover, it involves forsaking what is better and more beneficial for your mother, which is supplicating for her with mercy and forgiveness. Therefore, we recommend you abandon this action and increase your supplications for her.
