Udhiyah for the deceased

Is it permissible to offer a sacrifice for the dead?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Muslims are agreed that it is prescribed to offer a sacrifice
(udhiyah), and it is permissible to offer a sacrifice on behalf of one
who has died, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "When the son of
Adam dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing
charity, beneficial knowledge, ora righteous son who willpray for
him." Narrated by Muslim. Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasaa'i, and
by al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad from Abu Hurayrah. Slaughtering
asacrifice on his behalf is a kind of ongoing charity, because it
benefits the person offering the sacrifice, the deceased person, and
others.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
