The ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the deceased and what benefits a person after his death

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Shaykh Salih also asks about that same topic, saying: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the deceased for three consecutive days? And does the deceased benefit from the good deeds of that recitation? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no basis for this practice, which is reciting the Qur'an for the deceased, or at the grave of the deceased, or at his burial. None of this has any evidence from the Book or the Sunnah. What is obligatory for the deceased is to make du'a' (supplication) for him, seek forgiveness for him, pray over him, and give charity on his behalf, along with whatever the evidence indicates benefits the deceased after his death. Whatever has no evidence for it is to be left, and among that is reciting the Qur'an for the deceased, for this is one of the bid'ah (religious innovations) for which no evidence has come. Yes.
