Compensation for deceased missed sajdah tilawah?

· 5 Rabiʻ II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person passed away and had Sajdah Tilawah that he had not completed in his lifetime, how will the family repay it?

Answer

When one recites or hears a verse of Sajdah of the Qur’an, it is Wajib (compulsory) to perform Sajdah Tilawah. To delay the performance of a Sajdah Tilaawah without a valid reason is Makrooh (disliked).

If one did not fulfil his/her Wajib Sajdah Tilawah before passing away, there is no Fidyah (compensation) for the omitted Sajdahs. The family should make Istighfar (seek Allah’s forgiveness) on behalf of the deceased. (Imdaadul Fataawa 1/559)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
