Someone asked if we can do good deeds on behalf of others, e.g. pray Quran on behalf of deceased parents. There is no such evidence that the Prophet (pbuh) or the companions or the salaf or kalaf ever prayed Quran on behalf of deceased people. Similarly, there is no evidence to support that one can give his reward to another living person.

Learning sunnah and its importance to shariah is one of the most important subject to understand Islam. Identify authority of sunnah, particularly its application to the subjects of legislation and jurisprudence. And learn about the pain staking process that scholars of hadith went through to preserve the sunnah.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Give fara’id to those who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Share distribution amongst heirs & related examples.

Primary Heirs or Obligatory Heirs are referred to as Ashab-ul-Furud (أصحاب الفروض) means “possessors of obligatory share”.  These are the family members with fixed shares whose share is exclusively set by Quran. Hence, they are called Quranic heirs or Obligatory shares.

Inheritance in an integral part of Islamic Shariah Law and its application in Islamic society is a mandatory aspect of Divine teaching of Islam.
