No. Sadqa Jaariah isn’t mandatory. But this is an excellent opportunity to get benefitted after you have passed away. So, we should involve more Sadaqah Jariah projects as much as possible.

Yes. You can donate Sadqah Jariah on behalf of alive or dead persons like your parents. And this charitable donation will reward that person.

Sadqa e Jariya is a voluntary task, but Zakah is a mandatory duty for Muslims who have a Nisab amount of wealth. You can give Sadaka Jaria as much as you can. On the other hand, Zakah should be given a 2.5% rate. Zakah is given every fiscal year, but Sadakah Jariah can be donated anytime.

Sadaqah Jariyah can be given to a mosque in the form of assistance to construct buildings/services, provide educational materials, plant trees/gardens or any other long-term feature.

Whilst many people give Sadaqah Jariyah when something bad happens for example the death of a loved one (offering charity in their name), this is not a requirement. However, it does offer multiple blessings and can help with the grieving process. In addition, offering a memorial to a loved one and giving charity in Islam is important during happier, more prosperous times as a gesture of thanks to Allah (SWT).

Sadaqah is short-term and benefits the recipients on a single occasion. It counts as one good deed for the giver. On the other hand, Sadaqa Jariya is long-term and benefits the recipients continuously, and the giver continues to be rewarded even after death.

For example, providing food for someone is Sadaqah as it benefits that person momentarily. But building a masjid for people where they can regularly go to pray is Sadqah e Jariyah, as it aids people for years to come. It will continue to benefit the giver in this life and the Hereafter in sha Allah.
