Setting a fixed date for sending esaal-e-sawab

· 27 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can a specific date be fixed for sending esal sawab for deceased e.g. days of hajj (any of those days..not necessary one specific date/day every year), thereafter the attendees are fed?

Answer

In Shari'ah there is no time stipulated for conveying reward to the deceased. One may convey the reward at any time one wishes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
