The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an for Deceased Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to recite the Noble Qur'an on behalf of a deceased father and mother?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this, reciting the Qur'an and dedicating its reward to others. There is no proof for this, and the default in acts of worship is that they are restricted to what has been legislated. However, supplication, prayer, charity, Hajj, and 'Umrah, for which there is evidence, are dedicated to the dead; their reward is dedicated to the dead. As for anything else, Allah the Exalted said:[An-Najm 53:39] Yes.
