Innovations related to Death

[Adeel bin Minhaj]

A couple of my friends recently lost their father.

May Allah shower his grave with mercy.

Now they are punctual with their namaz, and trying hard to follow a straight path, Their knowledge is limited and I along with our friends try our best to give them advice and information.

They (family as well) are performing rituals that many Pakistani's perform, not knowing any better. These various acts of Bida'ah are too common in Pakistan, and the answer you get from them is "everyone does it, who are you to say we cant".

I have printed sources from Central Mosque and Ask Imam. Do I just have them read it? Do I try to explain first?

How can I relay this vital information to them and not upset them b/c right now they are vulnerable and I do not want to distance them from Deen either.

Brothers and sisters, your advice will be helpful.

Make them visit (durus) Ulema who are on the correct path, they'll Inshallah increase in their knowledge.
