Narrated Abdullah ibn
Amr ibn al-'As:
Al-'As ibn Wa'il left his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf. His son Hisham emancipated fifty slaves and his son Amr intended to emancipate the remaining fifty on his behalf, but he said: I should ask first the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). He, therefore, came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah, my father left in his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf and Hisham has emancipated fifty on his behalf and fifty remain. Shall I emancipate them on his behalf? The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Had he been a Muslim and you had emancipated slaves on his behalf, or given sadaqah on his behalf, or performed the pilgrimage, that would have reached him.

Translation: The deceased indeed gets benefit from the good deeds which are performed for him , such as giving Sadaqa, this is proven from explicit proofs of Sunnah and so are Imams "UNANIMOUS UPON IT" Similarly to free a slave on his behalf, to perform hajj, rather it is proven from Sahihayn that Prophet (saw) said: If someone dies and he has some missed fasts then the Wali should fast on his behalf.
