Which is better for the deceased: charity or supplication for him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is charity on behalf of the deceased better than supplication for him, or the other way around?

Answer:
Without a doubt, charity is better because its benefit extends to those in need, and its reward is greater. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
