Ask The Imam Question and Answer

785 I have been told that you should not read "Fateha" if you go to someone house for condolences whose family member has been passed away.
Whoever has told you this has indeed misinformed you. Reciting Fateha for the deceased is a very noble act.

The simplest method of performing Fateha is to recite Darood Shareef, Surah Fateha (once), Surah Ikhlas (three times), followed by Darood Shareef again. Then present these in the majesty of Allah Azawajal, then by Waseela (intercession) of these recitations and Huzoor (S.A.W), Ambiya (A.S), Aulia (R.A) forward the reward to the deceased and ask for his or her Maghfirat (forgiveness).

This topic is also covered in great detail under the literature section on the Janathi Message website.

It can be found in the section: Beliefs of Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat, Misconceptions Cleared, under the topic Fateha and Eesale Sawab Permissible in Islam.
