Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an and dedicate the reward of this recitation to a person who has died?
Answer:
No. There is no evidence for what is not permissible; rather, this is what the evidence indicates. Otherwise, the default is the statement of Allah the Exalted:[An-Najm 53:39], but what is indicated by the evidence is an exception.
