Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to dedicate a complete recitation of the Book of Allah to a deceased person?
Answer:
There is no evidence for that. Some jurists hold this view, but there is no evidence for it. We have stated that the default for a matter with no evidence is that a person has only what he has earned, except for what is indicated by evidence.
