Reading the Qur'an in its entirety on the night of Friday and dedicating its reward to the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among his questions, he asks: Is it permissible for us to read the entire Qur'an on the night of Friday, with the intention of dedicating its reward to the deceased?
Answer:
This is something that has not been established. There is no evidence for reading the Qur'an for the deceased or for anyone else. What has been established as being dedicated to others is supplication and seeking forgiveness,[Muhammad 47:19], “Forgive me and my parents.” Likewise, charity benefits others if you intend it for them. Likewise, performing Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of others. All of this has evidence for it, and it involves acting on behalf of another. As for anything other than that, no evidence has been established for it, including reciting the Qur'an.
