Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have an aunt whose father bequeathed, or she bequeathed, that her endowment be placed in date palms, the income from which is to be used to pay the salary of someone who recites a part (juz') of the Qur'an for her every day. Is it obligatory to carry this out, or should it be directed toward a path of good?
Answer:
This is to be allocated to a Qur'an teacher. It is to be allocated to the endowment for a Qur'an teacher. In schools for teaching the Qur'an, this takes the place of reciting for her, because reciting for her is not prescribed. However, this is to be spent on Qur'an teachers and Qur'an schools, and through this, great good is achieved, insha'Allah.
