What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the deceased in the cemetery and dedicating the reward to them?

It is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is a bid'ah. Reciting at the graves or reciting in the homes and dedicating the reward to the deceased. This is a bid'ah. No evidence has come regarding it. What has come is that the deceased are given charity on their behalf, Hajj is performed for them, 'Umrah is performed for them, and supplication is made for them. This is what has come. As for reciting the Qur'an and dedicating it to them, no evidence has come regarding it, so it is a bid'ah. Yes.
