3 Question 455
Salaamun a'laykum warahmatullah wabarakaatuh.Does Allah(swt) forgive sins(that includes both compounded evil deeds and the light one ) even after death? Because among the Yoruba they will say ojo kejo or even 21 days, to the extent that the alfas are often the ones who make duas in all forms of these feasts.
Answers
There is no basis for gathering to pray for the dead on any day, be it 7th, 21st... day. This is bid'ah.
As for sins, Allah can forgive any sin except shirk if one dies on it.
But a muslim Should repent from his sins before death.
