Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to recite the Noble Qur'an and dedicate the reward to the deceased?
Answer:
No, this has not been transmitted; there is no evidence for it. For the deceased, one should make du'a' (supplication) for him, give charity on his behalf, perform Hajj on his behalf, and perform 'Umrah on his behalf. These are the deeds that have been transmitted as benefiting the dead, if Allah the Exalted accepts them. Yes.
