Is the dissemination of religious topics, images, and videos considered knowledge from which one benefits after death, and does the reward for this act reach the deceased if intended for them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Publishing beneficial information and scholarly materials on websites is a virtuous act that brings one closer to Allah Almighty. It falls under the category of disseminating knowledge and goodness, for which the doer is rewarded and benefits from even after death. This is based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, among the good deeds and merits that will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge he learned and spread..." If the reward for this is intended for other Muslims, whether living or deceased, it will reach them. It is recommended to learn knowledge, teach it, spread it, and make it accessible to people through every possible means.
