    ‫نحمدہ و نصلی علی رسولہ الکریم‬


    Praise is due to Allah Almighty who guided us to the righteous path, And Durood o Salaam upon the
    Holy Prophet Muhammad “peace and blessings be upon him” and his Family and Companions.

    ISAAL-E-SAWAAB
    The method you have mentioned in your query is known as ISAAL-E-SAWAAB with the
    purpose of MAGHFIRAH, it is also known as DUA-E-MAGHFIRAH, and in our language it is
    well recognized by Khatam etc…

    ISAAL-E-SAWAAB & DUA-E-MAGHFIRAH both are permissible in Islam and an appreciable


    activity in accordance to all the authentic Islamic Scholars.

    There are numerous ways to perform ISAALE-E-SAWAB or DUA-E-MAGHFIRAH:

    1. By reciting the Holy Quran or some Chapters (Surah).


    2. By performing Zikr or Any Tasbeeh.
    3. By making Sadqua-e-Jaariyah (Countless or Endless contributions in the way of Allah).
    4. By Donating (Islamic Books or Foods etc…)
    5. By performing Hajj or Umrah on his/her behalf.
    6. By making Dua. Etc…

    There is a famous and well-known Hadith in Bukhari, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be
    upon him) once passed by two graves. He remarked, they are both being punished in their
    graves; one of them never used to take due care when urinating and the other would tell-tale. The
    Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then took a branch from a date-tree, snapped it
    in two and picked them on each grave. The Companions asked, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Why did you
    do that?’ He replied, ‘Perhaps their punishment will be lightened so long as the twigs do not
    dry.’

    The reason here is that a fresh and wet branch recites the Tasbeeh (Zikr) of Allah Almighty. So,
    if the Zikr can beneficiate a person in the grave, so reciting the Holy Quran and sending the
    reward of Quran to a deceased person will be more profitable and beneficial.

    After all, this is an appreciable and beautiful act that is permissible in Shariah. It is only
    recommended with the intention of Maghfirah. It is stated in the Holy Quran:
    And those who came after them say, “O our Lord! Forgive us, and our brothers who accepted
    faith before us, and do not keep any malice in our hearts towards the believers – O our Lord!
    Indeed You only are the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.” (Surah Al Hashr V 10)

    In this verse, it is clearly proven that to make Dua-e-Maghfirat for Muslims who have passed
    away is permissible only for the purpose of Maghfirat.

    Hazrat Sa'ad ibn Ubaadah (radi Allahu anhu) once came to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
    wasallam) and said: "Ya Rasoolallah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! My mother has passed away.
    What can I do for Isaale Sawaab?" The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Prepare a
    well for water". (Mishkaat-ul-Masaabeeh)

    When the well was prepared, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) went close to the well
    and made Du'a: "This is for the Isaale Sawaab for the mother of Saad". While making this Du'a,
    he raised his hands high, and after Du'a, he turned his hands over his blessed face.

    Performing Isaal-e-Sawaab is a recommendation act and also an appreciable activity, and there
    are many evidences that Isaal-e-Sawaab is permissible.
