The Shari'ah encourages ongoing charity ( Jariyah) because its reward continues even after the death of its giver. The indicates that the deeds of the deceased cease except for three: an ongoing charity, knowledge from which people benefit, or a righteous child who prays for him. Ongoing charity is that from which people continue to benefit, such as building restrooms in mosques or rebuilding and renovating them.
