Answer
As Muslims, we believe in Isaal-e-Sawaab (sending reward) for the deceased by performing virtuous acts, for example, reciting Qur'aan, giving charity, etc.
The deceased benefits from the rewards sent to them.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
