The Ruling on Offering the Recitation of the Qur'an to the Living and the Dead

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Nur al-Huda asks in her question: Is it permissible for me to offer the recitation of the Qur'an to my father and mother while they are still alive? And what if one of them, my mother, cannot read or write? And what reaches them? The transmission

Answer:
It is that the recitation of the Qur'an is not offered to the living or the dead, because there is no evidence for that. The default is that the reward of the doer belongs to the doer, unless evidence indicates the permissibility of offering it to another, such as supplication, such as charity, such as Hajj and 'Umrah. For these matters, evidence indicates that they may be offered to the living or the dead. As for what evidence does not indicate, the default is that it is not permissible. Yes.
