Question:
Dear eShaykh staff
Is it permissible to perform salat on behalf of someone else (not the fard prayer)?
Wasalam
Answer:
It is not permissible to offer prayers on behalf of someone who does not pray at all. However, you can always donate the thawab of your extra prayers to someone else who prays.
