i have two questions
one is, can we marry in the month of ramadan?

the second is, in my family and a lot of the people i know, when sombody dies, there is a soyam held for them, meaning people read quran and thasbee and pray etc for that person...... but then i have read before that u have told people that this does not exist in the sunnah.....and then i was reading your answer to somebodys question and you were saying how it is good to go to somebodys funeral and you get a certain number of sawaab and you pray for them....

so is it or is it not allowed for you to read quran etc at somebodys death? do u get punished for it if you do?
thank you

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

In regards to your first question, yes you can marry during the month of ramadhan. There is no Sahih Hadith that prohibits anyone from marrying during any month.

In regards to your second question, holding parties for the dead is shirk and haraam. My answer to the question you are referring to was a question asking can we attend FUNERALS and the answer is yes we attend the funeral of our muslim brothers and sisters. That is one of the rights a Muslim owes another muslim. There is a big difference in attending a funeral and holding parties for dead people and reading Quran for the dead.

The funeral prayer for a Muslim does not involve reading Quran to them.. the funeral prayer consists of nothing but Takbirs and the reciting of the Fatiha...nothing more. This is not what you are asking about which is getting togethre with other people to recite Quran as if the dead can hear or benefit. This is SHIRK and Bidah and NO it is not lawful.

I encourage you to join the classes at the website to learn more about Shirk and Innovations in Islam. Also if you want more information on how to perform a funeral in islam, go to the taped lectures section of our website and listen to the recorded lectures given by Shaykh Muhammad S Adly from our Fiqh class on Funerals.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
