The Benefit of a Living Person’s Charity on Behalf of a Deceased Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, does the charity of a living person on behalf of a deceased person benefit him in his grave?

Answer:
Without a doubt, the charity of a living person on behalf of a deceased person benefits the deceased in his grave if Allah accepts it, because it is a righteous deed. The Muslims used to give charity on behalf of their deceased, and its reward would reach the deceased if Allah accepted it. Yes.
