Giving charity on behalf of the sick for the sake of healing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Treat your sick with charityداووا مرضاكم بالصدقة
Is it prescribed for the family of a sick person to give charity on behalf of their sick relative for the sake of healing?

Answer:
Yes, this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Among the causes of treatment and among the causes of recovery, by the permission of Allah, is charity, because it is an act of good and kindness to those in need. The sick person may give charity on his own behalf, or his family may give charity on his behalf to those in need, and this may, by the permission of Allah, be a cause for the sick person’s recovery and the removal of the illness from him.
