Placing a plaque with a short dua instead of the donor's name on a well
Question
There is great rewards in making sadqah in the form of wells. I wanted to know if on the well it is permissible to have a dua instead of the donors name. There are wells I've contributed towards, but charities insist on a donor's name. My intention was to make Allah pleased so I requested short duas on the plaques instead. So the benefactor remembers blessings. Is this permissible?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
