Fatwa #171911 December 2000Pakistan

What is the Islamic ruling if a lady dies, and her children want to build a masjid in her name, does that count as sadaqa jaree an and does she still get hasanaat for the masjed her kids built?

Question

Jazaak Allah khair

Answer

Rasulullah (saw) said, when a person passes away, all his actions terminate
but three; knowledge through which people benefit, sadaqa Jaariyya(recurring)
and a pious child who makes dua for the parents. Building a musjid on behalf
of the mother will certainly be sadaqa Jaariyya as people will perform salaah
and other righteous deeds there. Your mother will be rewarded for all that,
Insha-Allah.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
