    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1262/1014/SN=01/1440)

     

    You did not sin rather you did a good job. The prevalent Fatiha is not proved and it is bida’h. It is mandatory to avoid participating in it. People should individually do isal-e-sawab for the deceased person by sadaqah, charity, tilawat and tasbihat etc.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
