The Ruling on Dedication of the Reward of Reciting the Qur'an to the Deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an and dedicating the reward of the recitation to the dead?

Answer:
There is no evidence for this. Some scholars consider it permissible, but the correct view is that there is no evidence for it. If you want to benefit the deceased, make du'a' (supplication) for him. What has evidence for it is du'a' and sadaqah (voluntary charity). This is what has evidence for it, or Hajj and 'Umrah. Yes.
