Why choose Sadaqah Jariyah for someone who has passed away?

A lasting charity

Sadaqah Jariyah is a form of ongoing charity whose benefits continue over time. By choosing to give Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of someone who has passed away, you ensure that the reward for this act will continue for as long as its impact benefits others. It is a powerful way to extend a loved one’s legacy, even after their passing.

“O Messenger of Allah, my mother died while I was away. Would it benefit her if I gave charity on her behalf?”
He said: “Yes.”
He said: “Then bear witness that my fruit-bearing garden is given in charity on her behalf.”

Bukhari, 2756

Honouring a loved one who has passed away

Losing a loved one is painful, but by turning your grief into an act of ongoing charity, you can offer a lasting tribute. Honouring a loved one’s memory through Sadaqah Jariyah is a meaningful gesture that keeps their legacy alive and brings them continuous blessings in the hereafter.

According to ʿAisha (may Allah be pleased with her) in the Sahih, a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “My mother died suddenly and did not leave a will. But I think that if she had been able to speak, she would have given charity. Will she receive a reward if I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Yes.”

Bukhari, 1388
