Funerals

Sheikh on your twitter someone asked who will get the reward of building a mosque when someone builds the mosque with the intention that the deceased parents get the reward and he names the mosque after them and you said only the parents get the reward. Why? Why doesnt the one who builds it also get a reward?

I lost my daughter about 2 years ago. I don’t complain to Allah in the least bit, but say “Alhamdulillah” and “Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun”. Yet at times I feel saddened (but not wailing). Is it okay to cry for her? I’m worried that otherwise I may be considered unmerciful since the Prophet (SAW) did cry when he lost his children.
