Dedication of the reward of recitation and attending lessons to the deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to dedicate good deeds to the deceased, such as dedicating to them the recitation of the Qur'an, or the reward of attending lessons?

Answer:
You dedicate to the deceased what is established by evidence, which is supplication, charity, and Hajj or 'Umrah. This is what the evidence has come regarding. As for reciting the Qur'an and attending lessons, no evidence has come regarding this. The default is that a deed belongs to its doer; it does not go to anyone else except what evidence has come regarding. Yes.
