Does the deceased benefit only from ongoing charity, or do both the deceased and the one who performed it benefit from it?

Scholars differ on whether the reward for a good deed reaches both the donor and the recipient, or only the recipient. The apparent view is that the reward is for the recipient alone, and nothing for the donor, because the donor willingly bestowed that gift upon the deceased. However, if the donor intends for the reward to be shared between them, then he will receive what he intended. The determination of the reward depends on the donor's intention.
