Reciting the Qur'an for an Illiterate Mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My mother is an illiterate woman who cannot read or write. Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an and complete a recitation (khatmah) on her behalf?
The Shaykh:
No, the Qur'an is not recited on behalf of anyone, whether living or dead. There is no evidence for this. However, you should make du'a (supplication) for her, and making du'a for her when completing the recitation is a good thing. As for transferring the reward of the recitation to her, there is no evidence for that. Yes.

And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
