Can the Dead Receive Rewards if His Brothers or Relatives Wear His Clothes? - Shaykh Sālih al-Luhaydān رحمه الله [السؤال:] عن ملابس هذا المتوفى [Question:] This question is about the clothes of a dead person. تقول ملابس هذا الشاب، إذا لبسهن أحد إخوانه، أو أحد أقاربه The questioner asks: if this (dead) young man’s clothes are worn by one of his brothers or relatives, هل يصل إليه أجر أم لا؟ does any reward reach him or not? [الجواب:] إن كان لابسهن غير محتاج إليهن، وهو في غنى [Answer:] If the wearer is not in need of them and he is well-off, فلا أرى أنه يثاب الميت بلبس ثيابه من الحي إذا كان غني then I do not believe the dead is rewarded by a living person wearing his clothes, this is if he is well-off. أما إذا كان محتاجاً فقيرا، فتصدقت أمه، أو تُصدق بهن عليه However, if the wearer is poor and in-need so the clothes were donated to him, فلا شك أنه يصل ثوابه then, no doubt, the dead receives reward. إلا إذا كانت تظن أنه However, if the questioner thinks the brother wearing the clothes كلما رأى هذه الأثواب، تذكر أخاه فدعا له will remember his dead brother whenever he sees them, thus making dua’ (supplication) for him, فإنه يكون الثواب من أجل الدعاء، لا من أجل اللبس then, the dead’s reward would be because of the dua’, not wearing the clothes. واللبس فيه فائدة التذكير But wearing the clothes has the benefit of reminding (the relative to supplicate).
