Question:
Aslamu Alaykum,
I hope you are in best of health INSHALLAH, My question is that could you read Qur’an paak, wazeefa or anything like that for someone who is alive could you send sawaab to them is it permissible to do that?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Our postion is reflected by the opinion of Imam Al-Hijjawy:
Any good act that brings the person nearer to Allah and which he does with the intention that its reward reaches a living or dead Muslim, it benefits him (the person to whom it is presented).
