A young man shot himself in the shoulder and died immediately. Before taking his own life, he uttered the two testimonies of faith. Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an for his soul?

The questioner:
He says: A young man from among our relatives, who is twenty-one years old, proposed to his daughter. But after a week, a problem occurred between him and some people at work. He came home angry and did not know what to do. So he went to his house, performed ghusl (full ritual bath), and then prayed two rak'ahs to Allah. He came to us, and when we asked him about the reason, he did not answer. He left our place, shot himself in the shoulder, and died immediately. However, the legal report revealed that he did not intend to kill himself. Before killing himself, he uttered the phrase "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) and testified that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I hope you will tell me: Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an for his soul? And is it permissible to seek forgiveness for him? Believe me, I always recite for his soul and seek forgiveness for him. Please tell us.

The Shaykh:
What this person did by killing himself is, in fact, a forbidden act that is severely forbidden, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has forbidden a person from killing himself or killing any other Muslim, but killing oneself is more severe. Allah the Exalted said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intensified the warning for the one who kills himself, stating that he will come on the Day of Resurrection in the Fire of Hell and will do to himself what he did in this world. If he killed himself with poison, the poison will be in his hand, and he will drink it in the Fire of Hell. If he threw himself from a height, he will throw himself in the Fire of Hell. If he killed himself with a sword, the sword will be in his hand, and he will stab himself with it in the Fire of Hell. This is a severe warning, but it does not take him out of Islam. He is a believer who has committed a major sin from the major sins. He should be asked for forgiveness, supplication should be made for him, charity should be given on his behalf, Hajj should be performed on his behalf, and 'Umrah should be performed on his behalf, because he is a Muslim. This will benefit him, if Allah wills, if Allah accepts it.
Reciting the Qur'an for his soul, or reciting al-Fatihah, this is not valid for him, and it is an innovation (bid'ah) that has been introduced. One should restrict oneself to what has come in the evidence: charity, seeking forgiveness, du'a, Hajj, or 'Umrah on his behalf. All of this will benefit him, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Shaykh Salih, he says: After a week from that incident, she saw in a dream that the sky opened, and something like rain came down from it. Is this mercy, as she asks? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
Allah knows best about that, but this man did a forbidden act.

The presenter:
We can learn from this.

The Shaykh:
But we ask Allah to forgive him because he is a Muslim. Yes.
