When siblings disagree about honoring a loved one through sadaqah jariyah

My brother and I inherited a significant sum when our grandmother passed, and we both want to use it for sadaqah jariyah to honor her memory, but he's pushing for a mosque addition while I believe a scholarship fund would create more lasting impact. We're both certain our approach would make her prouder, and it's starting to feel like we're fighting over her legacy instead of extending it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share deep love for someone are discovering that grief and devotion can pull them toward different expressions of the same sacred intention.
