The answer

Giving charity on behalf of the deceased benefits them, and its reward reaches them by the consensus of Muslims, and this is indicated by noble prophetic traditions. Feeding the poor and providing iftar for fasting individuals are among the righteous deeds that benefit the deceased. Moreover, one of the best ways for a child to benefit their deceased parent is by supplicating for them, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three: an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who supplicates for him." Therefore, one should frequently supplicate for the deceased for forgiveness, entry into Paradise, and salvation from Hellfire.
