The ruling on dedicating the recitation of the Qur'an to the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks the Honorable Shaykh about dedicating the recitation of the Qur'an to the deceased, saying: I want the stronger position on this?
Answer:
There is no evidence for reciting the Qur'an for the deceased; this is what has no evidence in it, and holding this view is a statement without evidence. So leaving it off is undoubtedly the default and the presumption of original permissibility. If you want to benefit the deceased, benefit him with what has come in the texts: the evidence for supplicating for him, giving charity on his behalf, performing Hajj and 'Umrah, and establishing an endowment for him. Yes.
