"What are some examples of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) on behalf of the deceased? "

"It is confirmed from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that among the things that reach the believer after his death are knowledge he taught and spread, a righteous child he left behind, a copy of the Quran he bequeathed, a mosque he built, a house for the wayfarer he built, a river he ran, or charity he gave from his wealth during his health and lifetime. Scholars have used this hadith and others as evidence for the virtue of giving charity on behalf of the deceased. They have exemplified ongoing charity with the endowment (waqf). Examples of ongoing charity are numerous, including: building a mosque on behalf of the deceased, endowing funds to help students of knowledge, establishing an Islamic library, building hospitals, building homes for the elderly, widows, and the poor, building schools, building centers for memorizing the Holy Quran, building houses that are rented out and their proceeds are given to the poor and needy, digging a well, or planting a tree and making the reward for the deceased.
