The answer

If the purchasing power of money weakens, it is more cautious to return its value.

If the charity organization is shut down, the one who gave the sadaqa (charity) must spend the funds for the purpose for which they were collected. If the new organization performs the same work as the first one, then there is no objection to giving these funds to it.

If the rightful owner is deceased, his right must be paid to his heirs by any means, and he is not required to inform them of what he has done. He may return the right in a way that avoids harm, such as sending it with a trustworthy friend without informing him.
