Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Is it permissible to perform nafl salah for Allah and pass the reward of it to the dead? One woman here I was told performs 2-rakat nafl and passes the reward to one of her relatives…
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
There is agreement among the 4 Sunni schools that one may donate the reward of some or all one’s actions to some or all believers, living or dead. [Ibn al-Humam, Fath al-Qadir]
