Is it permissible for the deceased's daughter to perform an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) for her father from her husband's money, given that she is not employed, while there are capable brothers who have already performed charity from their father's money? And is it permissible for this girl's mother to perform Umrah from her daughter's husband's money, even though her son is capable and fears his sister's anger?

It is permissible for a woman to give ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) or similar forms of charity on behalf of her father from her own private wealth. However, it is not permissible for her to dispose of her husband's money without his permission. This ruling also applies to performing Umrah on behalf of the mother or other relatives using the husband's money. As for the deceased's wealth, it is an inheritance for all heirs, and no ongoing charity may be performed from it except with the consent of all heirs.
