The answer

Writing beneficial articles and publishing them online is an act whose reward continues after the death of its author, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: (When a person dies, his deeds cease except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge from which benefit is derived, or a righteous child who supplicates for him). The knowledge from which benefit is derived includes teaching people, authoring books, and writing articles that benefit others. This is considered among the continuous charities whose reward and recompense extend after the death of its author.
