The ruling on broadcasting verses and hadiths on social media as charity on behalf of the deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with a message received by the program from our sister Wafa 'Ali al-Haysuni. This question is addressed to Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih. She says: "Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. My question to the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) is: There is a service on the social network called Instagram or Twitter, and it, O Shaykh Salih, broadcasts everything placed on it to communication devices. The text of the question is: O Shaykh, is it prescribed and permissible to place Qur'anic verses, Prophetic hadiths, sermons, supplications, and dhikr on this service with the intention of charity for the deceased, giving him the reward thereof?"

Answer:
And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Yes, spreading good and spreading knowledge benefits the deceased, by the permission of Allah, if he makes the reward for him and dedicates the reward to him, because it is a righteous deed. However, one should be careful with the verses and hadiths from sites that mix the bad with the good and mix the pure with the impure. One should not place verses and hadiths except in a suitable place, and protect them from insult, degradation, and mixing with other things that are not fitting. Yes.
