The answer

A Muslim is exclusively entitled to the reward for his good deeds, but it is permissible for him to donate the reward of his deed, or part of it, to a living or deceased Muslim. The recipient will benefit from this. Thus, any act of worship performed by a Muslim, where he dedicates its reward or a portion of it to a living or deceased Muslim, is permissible and beneficial to the latter.
