Reciting the Qur'an for the Dead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And there is no merit in it.
Answer:
There is no established evidence for reciting for the dead. What is established is giving charity, making supplication, and performing Hajj and 'Umrah; this is what is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). As for what has no evidence, it is not done for the dead. This includes recitation; the Qur'an is not recited for the dead, but you should make supplication for them.
