لم أجد في التضحية عن الميت منفردا حديثا مرفوعا صحيحا وأما حديث علي المذكور في هذا الباب فضعيف
machine translationI have not found any sound raised (marfūʿ) hadith on sacrificing on behalf of the dead alone. As for the hadith of ʿAlī mentioned in this chapter, it is weak (ḍaʿīf).
in مسند أحمد, p. 850 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
تفرد به شريك بن عبد الله بإسناده وهو وإن ثبت يدل على جواز الأضحية عمن خرج من دار الدنيا من المسلمين
machine translationSharīk b. ʿAbdullāh was alone in narrating it with its chain. Even if it were established, it would indicate that it is permissible to sacrifice on behalf of those Muslims who have departed from this world.
