The ruling on including a deceased person in the reward of charity

Question:
Abu 'Abdullah, please, my brother Abu 'Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Good evening, may Allah keep you safe. May Allah keep you all safe. We would like to speak to the Shaykh, may Allah be pleased with him. Please go ahead, but raise your voice; I will hear you, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. My grandmother has passed away, and I would like to include her with me in my charities. May Allah keep you safe. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, may Allah reward you with good. If it is your grandmother or someone other than your grandmother, and you wish to give charity on her behalf along with your own charities, and you make du'a' (supplication) for her along with your du'a' for yourself, then there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is recommended (mustahabb), because of the benefit it brings to the deceased and the maintenance of family ties. You will be rewarded for this.
