Sunan an-Nasai 3652 (Book 30, Hadith 42) #18266
Charity as Expiation for the Deceased

SUMMARY: Giving charity on behalf of a deceased person can expiate for them.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that a man said to the Prophet: "My father died and left behind wealth, but he did not leave a will. Will it expiate for him if I give charity on his behalf?"
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالاً وَلَمْ يُوصِ فَهَلْ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ

Give charity on behalf of a deceased person

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, speaks about the importance of giving charity on behalf of a deceased person. A man asked the Prophet if it would expiate for his father who had died without leaving a will and the Prophet answered in the affirmative. This shows that giving charity is an important act that can help to atone for any sins committed by someone who has passed away. It also highlights how important it is to make sure that one's will is in order before they die so their wishes are respected after they have gone. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us about being generous and kind even after someone has passed away, as we should not forget those who have gone before us but instead remember them through acts of kindness and generosity such as giving charity on their behalf.
