If a person builds a mosque on behalf of his deceased father as a continuous charity, does the reward transfer to his deceased father?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... in my hand
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner: All right, Shaykh, regarding the matter of continuous charity, we know from the hadithRiyad as-Salihin 1383 , one of which is a righteous son who prays for him. Sometimes a righteous son comes and asks, saying, "If I built a mosque for my father or for my deceased aunt, would the reward transfer?" Knowing that the text of the hadith says "prays for him," it does not say "builds for him" or "digs a well for him" or the like. We would like to hear your opinion, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner: All right, Shaykh, regarding the matter of continuous charity, we know from the hadith
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things
إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث
