Ongoing charity (sadaqa jariya)

The Sheikh says that the reward of a planted tree continues for as long as any person or bird eats from it, or any creature shelters under it, which is the meaning of ongoing charity. He says this is reported in a hadith and a narration (the text is not reproduced). ^{1 2}

The Sheikh says that teaching people beneficial knowledge, teaching the interpretation of the Qur'an's verses, building a mosque, writing a copy of the Qur'an, founding a charitable library, or taking part in building a school, brings a reward that reaches the person after his death. ^{3 4 5}

The Sheikh says that he and those with him carried out a large project caring for orphans in Giza governorate. As an example he speaks of 500 pounds, of which 100 pounds would go to someone who memorises the Qur'an (needs_source: the sum is given as an illustration and has not been verified). ^{6 7}
