ISALE SAWAB IN ENGLISH FREE
Hazrath Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) has stated: “On the Days of Eid, the 10th of Muharram, the first Friday of Rajab, on Shabbe Baraat, and on Thursday nights, the souls of the deceased are left free to go to their homes, wherein they go and ask for Sadaqa and Khayraath. In other words, make Esaale Sawaab of Salaah and Saum for them.” The meaning of this Hadith Shareef is that we should send the Sawaab of our actions to the deceased, since in reality one cannot perform Salaah and keep fast another person or on his behalf, but we can send the Sawaab of our actions to them. Read Salaah for them as you read for yourself and fast for them as you fast for yourself.

Hazrath Anas (radi Allahu anhu) asked the prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam): “If we send Sawaab to the deceased, give Sadaqa and Khayraat and ask Du’a for them, does this reach them?” The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Verily it reaches them. If a person kept Fast, performed his to her Salaah, or gave Sadaqa and then sent this Sawaab to another person, either living or deceased, then to do so is permissible, and that Sawaab reaches the said person. It is permissible for a Muslim to send the Sawaab of his deeds, such a Salaah, Saum, Zakaah, Hajj, Sadqa, etc. FATEHA AND ESAALE SAWAAB PERMISSIBLE IN ISLAMĪll the Ulama-e-Haq and the Buzurgaan-e-Deen hold the belief that to send Esaale Sawaab to the souls of the deceased is permissible.
