How do we pray for a person after he dies? My son died. I want to know the best possible manner to pray and how I can make charity for him?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah

Isaal-e-Sawaab (to perform a virtuous act and grant the reward to any person, alive or deceased) is permissible. Making abundant dua is especially beneficial for those that have passed away, and they should be included in the duas one recites after every Salaah. Any sort of charity
of any amount, given with the intention of the rewards being sent to one that has passed away, is also very beneficial. There are no specific or better forms of these acts. Any kind of charity and dua will InshaAllah benefit the one that has passed away.

In summary, one can perform Nafl prayers, Nafl fasting, give Sadaqa, read Qur’an, do Nafl Hajj/Umrah and other good deeds with the intention to send blessings, make Dua and pass its reward to the deceased, people who passed away. These are recommended ways to continuously send blessings to the deceased.

And Allah knows best.
