Janaazah

Q: My parents have died and I want to perform 2 rakat nafil of bakhshish o maghfirat for them.

2. If yes, then please tell me what is the best way to do that?

Q: I have certain relatives who are non-Muslims. When they pass away, will it be permissible for me to view their corpse?

Q: Is it correct to place a mayyit (dead body) for salaatul janaazah on a table instead of on the ground? The table is permanently fixed to the ground in some places and is unfixed (like a movable normal table) in some places.

Q: What is the difference between sadaqah-e-jaariyah and esaal-e-thawaab? Which of the two refers to giving charity for deceased people, and which refers to gaining ongoing reward for oneself?

Q: Is it correct that if a person passes away due to a stomach illness, he becomes a shaheed.

Q: A non-Muslim accepts the shahadah on his dying bed, but his/her non-Muslim family members don't not know this. How should the dead person be buried? If the non-Muslim family members are causing trouble and don't want the deceased to have anything with Islam, what is to be done there?

Q: Can you explain what Esaal-e-thawaab is and how to carry it out?

Q: My ammi (mother) is admited in hospital for a long time and she is unconscious and drowsy. She can't speak and can't eat too. What should I recite when I visit her for her shifa?

Q: When visiting the sick, is it permissible to give them flowers, or is this regarded as emulation of the kuffaar?

Q: Could you explain to me the various masaa'il that pertain to a person in the last stages of his life? I have heard that the one who is in the last stages of his life cannot deal in his wealth freely. Therefore, I wish to find out that if a person in this state gifts something to a relative or a non-relative, will his gifting be valid? From which point will one regard a person to be in the final stages of his life?
