669. 'Ikrimah narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that a man said: "O
Messenger of Allāh! My mother died, will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I have a Makhraf, so bear witness that I have given it in charity on her behalf.'" (Sahīh)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan, and this is the view of the people of knowledge. They say that nothing benefits the dead except charity and supplications. Some of them reported this Hadīth from 'Amr bin Dīnār from 'Ikrimah, from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form. (He said:) And his saying: "I have a Makhraf" means a garden.

Commentary
The Ummah and the four A'immah are agreed that a deceased person benefits from the reward of charity, also what the Shari'ah allows to be performed on behalf of someone may be performed, like: Hajj, fasting and charity etc. (See: Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi: 2/26)
