Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Badran from Najran. Hello. Peace be upon you. The sound is a bit low, Badran. Lower the television a little. Go ahead, Badran. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, and upon you be peace. How are you, Shaykh? Welcome. I have a question, Shaykh. Reciting the mushaf with the intention of the deceased. Reciting the mushaf with the intention of the deceased. Reciting the Qur'an.

Answer:
Reciting the Qur'an with the intention that its reward goes to the deceased is not supported by any evidence, so it is not prescribed. However, one should make du'a for the deceased, seek forgiveness for him, give charity on his behalf, or perform Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf. As for reciting the Qur'an on his behalf, there is no evidence for it. Reciting the Qur'an is a physical act, and there is no evidence that it can be dedicated to someone other than the reciter. Yes.
