Sahih al-Bukhari 2756 (Book 55, Hadith 19) #2635
Charity for the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) affirmed that giving charity on behalf of a deceased person is beneficial for them.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The mother of Sa'd bin 'Ubada died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Messenger ! My mother died in my absence; will it be of any benefit for her if I give Sadaqa on her behalf?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Sa'd said, "I make you a witness that I gave my garden called Al Makhraf in charity on her behalf".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَقُولُ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ تُوُفِّيَتْ أُمُّهُ وَهْوَ غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا، أَيَنْفَعُهَا شَىْءٌ إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ حَائِطِي الْمِخْرَافَ صَدَقَةٌ عَلَيْهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of giving charity on behalf of a deceased person. Sa'd bin 'Ubada asked the Prophet (ﷺ) if it would be beneficial for his mother, who had passed away in his absence, if he gave sadaqa on her behalf. The Prophet's response was affirmative, and Sa'd gave his garden called Al Makhraf in charity as an act of sadaqa on her behalf. This hadith teaches us that even after death, we can still benefit our loved ones by performing acts of kindness and generosity such as giving charity or donating to a cause they believed in. It also shows us how important it is to give back to those less fortunate than ourselves and how this can be done even after someone has passed away.
