the efforts of the parents, it falls under the generality of His saying, the Exalted, "And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives" (Sūrah al-Najm, 53:39). Therefore, there is no need to specify this generality with the ḥadīth and what has been mentioned in its meaning in the chapter, as presented by al-Majd Ibn Taymiyyah in "al-Muntaqá," as some have done. And know that all the ḥadīths he presented in the chapter are specific to the father or mother from the child. Thus, using them as evidence for the reward of good deeds reaching all the deceased, as al-Majd Ibn Taymiyyah titled it "Chapter on the Reward of Good Deeds Gifted to the Deceased," is incorrect because the claim is broader than the evidence. There is no evidence indicating a general benefit for all the deceased from the general acts of goodness gifted to them by the living, except in specific matters mentioned by al-Shawkānī in "Nayl al-Awṭār" (4/78-80), and then by the author in his book "Aḥkām al-Janāʾiz wa-Bidʿuhā," may Allāh facilitate its publication. Among these is supplication for the deceased, which benefits them if Allāh responds to it. So, preserve this to avoid excess and negligence in this matter. In summary, the child may give charity, fast, perform ḥajj, ʿumrah, and recite the Qurʾān on behalf of their parents because it is from their efforts, but not for others except where evidence specifies, as previously indicated. And Allāh knows best.
