The ruling on dedicating the reward of reciting the Qur'an to deceased parents

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm 'Abd al-Ilai, O Shaykh. She says that Allah has blessed her in the latter part of her life by making her committed to worship, prayer, feeding the poor, and reciting the Qur'an. She says she recites between one prayer and the next, but she asks: Honorable Shaykh, I make du'a for my parents during my prostration, but I ask: Is it permissible if I recite the Qur'an and dedicate its reward to my parents?

Answer:
There is no evidence that reciting the Qur'an is dedicated to the dead. However, one should recite the Qur'an seeking its reward, make du'a for one's parents, seek forgiveness for them, give charity on their behalf, and perform Hajj or 'Umrah on their behalf. This is what is supported by the evidence. Yes.
