The Ruling on Offering the Reward of Reciting the Qur'an to the Dead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We also received this question, Shaykh Salih. He says: Is it permissible for a son or daughter to recite the Qur'an in order to offer this recitation to their parents with the intention of reward? Does this count as dutifulness to parents?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this, whether the reward of reciting the Qur'an is offered to the living or to the dead. However, you have supplication: supplicate for your parents, give charity on their behalf, and the like. Yes.
