Is it permissible to collect the 'Eidiya' (gifts of money given on Eid) of a deceased child and distribute them to orphans, and does this child need our supplication despite being a Muslim child promised Paradise?

"Whoever among Muslim children dies before reaching puberty is an inhabitant of Paradise, as indicated by authentic hadiths. There is no impediment to giving charity on their behalf or supplicating for them to increase good and raise their ranks; the benefit of both reaches them. It is not a condition for the deceased to benefit from the reward of charity that they be aware of it. However, charity should not be collected by begging from people or gathering Eid gifts."
