Esaal-e-Sawaab

Q: Is it right to read fatiha and dua for a dead wali or sheikh so as to remember what you have forgotten? Is it that it is praying for the dead not asking the dead?

A: To make esaale thawaab is permissible and to do this as an amal is also permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
