Question:
In his second question he says: I recite Surah al-Kahf on Friday on my behalf, and I recite it again with the intention that its reward be for my father, and likewise Surah al-Mulk. Is this action permissible and does it benefit him in his grave?
Answer:
There is no evidence for that, and recitation is not offered to the deceased; rather, supplication is made for him for forgiveness and mercy. Yes.
