Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyahإذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث وذكر صدقة جارية
Riyad as-Salihin 1383
, is ongoing charity what he himself gives before his death, or what his relatives perform on his behalf after his death?

Answer:
It includes what he himself gives, and that is better, or it includes what others, such as his relatives or brothers, give. Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) say "ongoing charity from him"? Is this absolute?
