The answer

The Shari'ah encourages ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) because its reward continues even after the death of its giver. The Hadith indicates that the deeds of the deceased cease except for three: an ongoing charity, knowledge from which people benefit, or a righteous child who prays for him. Ongoing charity is that from which people continue to benefit, such as building restrooms in mosques or rebuilding and renovating them.
