Dua for a Deceased Woman

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهَا، وَارْحَمْهَا، وَعَافِهَا، وَاعْفُ عَنْهَا، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهَا، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهَا، وَاغْسِلْهَا بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهَا مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهَا دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهَا، وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، وَأَدْخِلْهَا الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ.


English Translation

O Allah, forgive her, have mercy on her, grant her well-being, and pardon her.
Honor her place of rest and expand her entrance.
Wash her with water, snow, and ice, and cleanse her of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt.
Replace her home with a better home, her family with a better family, and her spouse with a better spouse.
Admit her into Paradise and protect her from the punishment of the grave and the Fire.
