Evidence of the Deceased Benefiting from Charity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says in his other question: What is the evidence for the permissibility of a dead person benefiting from charity?

Answer:
The evidence that a deceased person benefits from the living through supplication, charity, Hajj, and 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) includes proofs for this, as in the hadith where a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him that his father had died without performing Hajj. He said:
Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and perform Umrah.حج عن أبيك واعتمر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 930Sahih (Darussalam)
. This is among the deeds that reach the deceased if Allah accepts them: Hajj, 'Umrah, charity, and supplication. This benefits the deceased if Allah the Exalted accepts it and it is done in the prescribed manner. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
