Is the charity, supplication, and seeking of forgiveness from someone negligent in prayer for the deceased accepted?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

One must safeguard their prayers, repent to Allah Almighty for any negligence, and make up for missed prayers. The acts of obedience performed by a disobedient person, such as charity, supplication, and seeking forgiveness, are accepted with incomplete acceptance. Complete acceptance is for those who guard against polytheism and sins. The deceased benefits from charity given on their behalf, supplications, and seeking forgiveness for them, even if it comes from someone negligent in prayer. However, this benefit might be less than if it were gifted by a pious person.
