Esaal-e-thawaab being distributed between the marhooms

· 15 Shawwal 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Does each person get a smaller share when one sends esaal-e-thawaab for all marhooms compared to if he only sent for one person?

Answer

If one conveys the reward of good deeds for many people, then the reward is distributed between all of them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
