    I got a question, is it allowed to give Sadaqah on behalf of a dead person? To increase his good deeds? Please give also a evidence, if it is okay to do this on behalf of a dead person.

    Re: Giving Sadaqah on behalf of a dead person



    There is/are hadith, Muslims are allowed to give sadaqah on behalf of a dead person if the money or treasure is sourced from money/treasure of that dead person.

    In example. A father died. He leaved his money/treasure to his children. Then his children give that money/treasure to the poor as sadaqah on behalf of their father. Profit of a company that left by this dead person is also considered as sourced from this dead person treasure.

    But currently, I do not find any reference Muslims can give sadaqah on behalf of a dead person if the money/treasure is absolutely not sourced from that dead person.

    Re: Giving Sadaqah on behalf of a dead person



    The scholars are agreed that the benefits of du’aa’, praying for forgiveness, giving charity and Hajj reach the deceased.

    it was narrated in al-Saheehayn from ‘Aa’ishah that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “My mother died suddenly and she did not leave a will, but I think that if she could have spoken she would have given in charity. Will she have a reward if I give in charity on her behalf?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Yes.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 1388; Muslim, no. 1004.

    And it was narrated by al-Bukhaari from Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah that his mother died when he was absent, and he said: “O Messenger of Allaah, my mother has died when I was absent. Will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “I ask you to bear witness that my garden that bears fruit is given in charity on her behalf.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2756.
