Question

If you give sadaqah in someone else’s name, does the giver of the sadaqah get any reward? Or does the reward go completely to the one in who’s name it was given?

Answer

Esaale – Thawaab ( conveying of reward ) can be done for the living and the deceased.Both the giver and the person for whom the reward is intended will be rewarded.

Sayyidatuna Aa’ishah (Radiyallahu Anha) narrates that a man came to the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and asked him,

“My mother passed away suddenly and she did not get a chance to make a bequest. I think that if she had a chance, she would have given charity. So if I give charity on her behalf, will she be rewarded and will I also be rewarded?”

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam replied in the affirmative (meaning that both will be rewarded. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith #: 2717)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
