Supplication (Du'a) and charity (Sadaqah) for the deceased reach them by consensus (Ijma'). Supplication is valid in any form that conveys seeking forgiveness, mercy, and pardon, though supplications authentically reported (ma'thur) are preferable. Among the best forms of charity is providing water, such as digging a well.
