Dedicating the reward of a complete recitation of the Qur'an and the lesser pilgrimage to a deceased person

Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Adil, says: Praise be to Allah, I complete a recitation of the Qur'an twice a month. The first time is for myself, and the second time I dedicate it to my deceased father.

Answer:
No, my brother, there is no evidence that the reward of recitation is dedicated to the deceased. The reward of recitation belongs to the one who recites, and there is no evidence that it is dedicated to the deceased. What is established is charity and supplication, for which there is evidence. As for what you mentioned regarding 'Umrah, it can be dedicated to the deceased. If you intend to perform 'Umrah on behalf of the deceased, enter the state of ihram on his behalf, and perform the 'Umrah with the intention that it is for him, then its reward will reach him. The reward of Hajj and 'Umrah reaches the deceased, and acting on behalf of another is permissible in them.

May Allah reward you,
