Question:
He says: I recite Surat al-Ikhlas eleven times after every obligatory prayer, following the tasbih, tahmid, and takbir, along with some supplications, and I say: “I dedicate it to my father.” Is this action of mine permissible? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Surat al-Ikhlas is not to be repeated more than three times, as stated in the hadith: In the Maghrib prayer, it is repeated three times. Likewise, he repeats Surat al-Falaq and Surat three times after Fajr and after Maghrib. After the remaining prayers, he recites these surahs once each, along with the Verse of the Throne. This is what is prescribed. As for dedicating the reward of recitation to the deceased, there is no evidence establishing this. What is prescribed is to make du'a for the deceased and to seek forgiveness for them. This is what is prescribed. Yes.
