Question:
Aslamu alaykum Brothers and sisters of Islam, a kind lady of non-belief to my understanding passed away recently. Would Surah-Yasin (peace and blessings be upon him) have any benefits for her in the afterlife? And am I allowed to read it for a non-believer for the hereafter? May ALLAH swt Grant light and love for the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him in your hearts Ameen.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
We read only for believers and not unbelievers, and Allah knows best. Prophet (s) didn’t say to read for unbelievers. But we cannot force anyone. It is up to you.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
