Question

I know children can give sadaqah for parents who have died. Can one give sadaqah for their grandparents who are dead or for friends or neighbors? Obviously all were Muslims. Is Sadaqah accepted on their behalf?? Jarzakallah

Answer

May Allah bless you with piety (Taqwa) and purity, strong Imaan,forgiveness of sins, have mercy on you, elevate your status, and bless you with knowledge of Deen and generosity. Ameen!

You can give sadaqah on behalf on anyone in Islam. No matter who the person is as long as that person is muslim.

A better thing is to estimate if the deceased was missing any obligatory Salah, Zakah in their lifetime and then give proper FIDYA to help them relieve from their missing obligations.

And Allah knows best.
