To arrange three, seven, twenty-one and forty for the forgiveness of the soul of the deceased 6112729777

Praying for the forgiveness of the deceased and performing various supererogatory acts of worship such as charity, tasbeeh-tahlil, recitation, etc., is an important act to reach the dead, which is proved by many documents of Hadith Sharif. However, this is a personal matter. This can be done whenever desired without any date and formality. But now this simple act has been formalized and in many cases it has been converted into a sin instead of a reward. E.g.-

1. It is considered necessary to perform these ceremonies on the 3rd, 7th, 21st and 40th days of death, respectively, in the name of three days, seven days, one hundred and forty, or at least the idea that these dates have special features. But it is bid'ah and impermissible to fix a special date without Shariah evidence.
2. Another major objection to the conventional method of thawab in Isal is that it involves the ritual of feasting, or the solemn invitation, as the means of thawab in Isal. But in the Shari'ah, there is talk of arranging a feast in a moment of joy, not in a moment of misfortune. Hadith Sharif-Hazrat Jarir Ibn Abdullah Albajali. Narrated from, he said, (translation) ‘We (the Companions) used to consider gathering and arranging food around the dead after burial as‘ niyaha ’.’ (Musnad Ahmad 2/204; Ibn Majah 1812)Feeding the poor and needy without setting a date is also a legitimate way of rewarding in Isal. But arranging a feast in which in many cases the leading and wealthy people of the society are given precedence is not at all an acceptable way of reward in Isa.
3. The Qur'an was destroyed by the Hafiz in return for a fee. But in this case it is not permissible to exchange the reading of the Qur'an.
4. In many cases, the expenses are borne from the Ejmali property left by the deceased, but his property is not deducted even if there is a minor among the heirs. However, it is not permissible to spend the wealth of a minor even with his permission. Similarly, in the case of adult heirs, it is not taken into account whether they have spontaneous permission or not.
5. Such events are often performed to show off or to influence social customs. This is also not permissible. More such anti-Sharia activities take place in these events. As a result, far from benefiting the dead person, those who arrange the opposite become sinners.Therefore, the questionable approach of Isab al-Thawab is completely avoidable. Personal charity, recitation, dhikr-azkar and supererogatory worship are sufficient for the purpose of seeking forgiveness of the deceased and reaching him thawab and this is what should be done. And without waiting for a specific date, these need to be done from time to time according to their respective tawfiqs. When it comes to giving alms, it is better to give cash to the poor and needy and to spend in the sector where alms are given. 7845941594
