Question:
Regarding giving the Qur'an and giving righteous deeds, O Shaykh, to the dead, what is the evidence for this?
Answer:
As for giving the Qur'an, I am not aware of any evidence for it, meaning reading the Qur'an on behalf of the deceased, or rather, I am not aware of any evidence for it. Some scholars hold that it falls under the general category of righteous deeds, so one reads it and gives the reward of the reading to the deceased, but I am not aware of any evidence for it from the Book or the Sunnah. As for giving other acts of worship, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
