Is it permissible to give charity to scholars – those who do not know the giver – so that they may remember him, or are they not in need? And are the deceased more deserving of charity? And is it permissible to give a very small amount in charity? And is it permissible to combine the deceased and the living in the same charitable donation?

If you wish to dedicate the reward of charity to the deceased, it is better to prioritize your relatives, as this combines charity with maintaining kinship ties. It is permissible to give a small amount of money in charity, and there is no harm in giving a single sum on behalf of everyone, with each person's share determined by your intention. It is permissible to combine both the deceased and the living in the reward of charity, but it is better to prioritize the deceased because their deeds have ceased.
