Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an for the deceased in the mosques?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for us to recite the Qur'an for the deceased in the mosques?

Answer:
No, reciting the Qur'an for the deceased has no basis, and there is no evidence for it. Rather, one should make supplication for the deceased, or give charity on his behalf. Whoever wants to benefit the deceased should benefit him with what has come in the evidence: charity on his behalf, supplication for him, or performing Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf. Evidence has come regarding these matters, but not regarding anything else. Yes.
