The answer

Establishing da'wah (Islamic propagation) and educational pages on the internet to disseminate beneficial knowledge and invite to Allah is among the deeds whose reward continues after the death of their owner. This is based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three: an ongoing charity, knowledge from which others benefit, or a righteous child who prays for him." And his saying: "Indeed, among the good deeds and merits that will reach a believer after his death are knowledge he taught and spread." Teaching knowledge includes authoring, instructing, and copying, and establishing these pages is a form of copying and spreading knowledge. And whoever invites to guidance will have a reward like that of those who follow him. The one who creates these pages must have sincere intention, ensure that what is published is free from deviations or innovations, and choose knowledge whose benefit is great and to which people are in need.
