companion رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘Then, I make you a witness that I donate my garden to charity on her behalf.’
(Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol. 2, pp. 241, Ḥadīš 2762)
Hence, it is evident that as well as conveying Šawāb by feeding people food, donating a garden, i.e. donating wealth, is permissible, and in essence, the practice of ‘Kūnḋay’ is also included in this monetary form of Īṣāl-e-Šawāb.
My master A’lā Ḥaḍrat Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has stated, ‘Cooking food and donating it as charity on behalf of deceased Muslims is undoubtedly permissible and commendable, and doing Fātiḥaĥ on such meals for the purpose of conveying Šawāb is a second commendable act. Combining the two (good) things is nothing but an increase in the goodness. (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ – referenced, vol. 9, pp. 595)
It is a virtuous act for every Muslim to convey the Šawāb of every righteous deed that he does to all preceding and succeeding, dead and alive, male and female believers (i.e. from Sayyidunā Ādam عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام until the Day of Judgment). The Šawāb will reach them all and the one conveying the Šawāb will be rewarded with the Šawāb equivalent to all of them.
(Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ – referenced, vol. 9, pp. 617)
The act of conveying the Šawāb should be done with good intentions rather than to show off or for the sake of earning a wage; otherwise neither will there be any Šawāb nor any
