Does the reward of a son's charity reach his deceased father?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I want to give charity on behalf of my deceased father. Does he benefit, Shaykh, from the charity? And what is it that benefits him after his death?

Answer:
Yes, if Allah accepts the charity, its reward reaches the deceased if its reward is dedicated to the deceased, whether from your parents or others. That benefits him if Allah accepts it. What reaches the deceased is one of the following: first, charity; second, supplication for them; third, Hajj or 'Umrah on their behalf. These are deeds that reach the deceased, and their reward reaches the deceased if Allah the Exalted accepts them and the living person dedicates their reward to them. Yes.
