Answer:
There is no evidence regarding reciting the Qur'an for the deceased. And we told you that the default is that a person's deed is for himself, except where there is evidence for dedicating it to another. There is no evidence that reciting the Qur'an is dedicated to another; it requires evidence. Yes.
