PERMISSIBILITY OF FAATIHA-TEEJA-DASWAN AND CHALISWAAN
The deed of
Eesal-e-Sawab is also a dua (invocation) in the Presence of Almighty Allah.
This means that if the Eesal-e-Sawab is done when the Tilawat of the Quran has
been done in full, it shall be most beneficial both for the person for whom the
Eesal-e-Sawab is intended and the person or persons who help completing the
reciting of the Quran for that purpose.
In the book Ash’atul Lam’at it is said in the chapter Ziyaratil Qubur (visiting
the graves ),
“After the death of the deceased, the sadqah should be given for seven
days”. [Ashiat al-Lam’at,
Vol. 1, Page 716]
“The soul of the deceased visits its home in the night of Friday to see
whether the inmates (relatives) are offering sadqah or not.” [Ashiat al-Lam’at, Vol. 1, Page 716]
From this it is seen
that at places where breads are distributed for seven days continuously (daily)
after the demise of the relative and offer Fatiha regularly on each Thursday,
the ceremony has this origin as to its admissibility.
In the book
Anwar-e-Sati’ah and Hashiyah Khazanat ar-Riwayaat it is written that Holy
Prophet (Saws) offered sadqah on the third, seventh and fortieth day of the
martyrdom of Sayyiduna Hamzah and repeated the same at every sixth months and
at the end of the year. [Anwaar-e-Sati’ah,
Page 145]
Imam al-Nawawi (ra) has
said: Hadrat Anas bin Malik used to gather his family members on the occasion
of Khatm al-Quran and offered Fatiha, in the Presence of Allah for the welfare
of all. [Kitab al-Azkaar, Baab
Tilawatil Qur’an]
Hakeem Ibn Utbah says that Once Ibn Abi Lubabah invited a group of the people and told them that he had invited them at his home because he was completing the Khatm al-Qur’an on that day so that they might benefit thereby as the dua on that auspicious occasion receives the acceptance from the Almighty Allah. [Kitab al-Azkaar, Baab Tilawatil Qur’an]
It is also reported by Hadrat Mujahid on reliable authority that Some righteous persons used to gather the people on the occasion of the Khatm al-Qur’an and told them that on this occasion, the Mercy (Rahmat) from Allah descends upon those present there. [Kitab al-Azkaar, Baab Tilawatil Qur’an]
If a person recites
Surah Ikhlas eleven times and conveys its thawab to the deceased Muslims, then
he himself shall receive the thawab equal to the total reward given to the
souls of the deceased Muslims.
[Raddul Muhtar, Qir’at lil Mayyit, Baab ad-Dafan, Vol. 1, Page 666]
It is said in the Shaami:One may recite the Holy Qur’an by way of Fatiha, on any particular occasion in the following manner: In the beginning Surah Fatiha, then the first there verses of the Surah Baqrah then Ayat-ul-Kursi, the last three verses of the Surah Baqrah, then Surah Yasin, Surah Mulk, Surah Takathur and in the end Surah Ikhlas the last one recited Twelve times or Eleven times or Seven times or Three time then pray to Almighty Allah for the Eesal-e-Sawab in favour of so and so person or persons. [Raddul Muhtar, Qir’at lil Mayyit, Baab ad-Dafan, Vol. 1, Page 666]
It is said in the Fatawa
Aziziyah:”The Fatiha which is intended for Hadrat Imam Hasan and Hadrat
Imam Hussain on the food prepared for the occasion should be offerred with the
recitation of the Surah Fatiha accompanied by four Quls and the Durood which is
the source of blessing and eating the food prepared for the occasion is also
blissful.” [Fatawa Aziziyah, Page
75]
In the Fatawa-e-Azizia, at page 41 it is said: “If the Fatiha for the thawab of the Awliya Allah is offered on the food prepared with the milk and the bread meshed together (known as Maleedah) is also permissible and there is no harm in doing so.” [Fatawa Aziziyah, Vol. 1 , Page 41]
