Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on dedicating the recitation of the Qur'an to the deceased?
Answer:
Is there any evidence regarding this? The default ruling is that a deceased person does not benefit from the deeds of others except where there is evidence to the contrary. Evidence has come regarding charity, supplication, and Hajj and 'Umrah. As for what has no evidence, it remains on the default ruling. There is no reward for the deceased. Therefore, reciting the Qur'an does not benefit the deceased, because there is no evidence for it. In other words, it is a worldly act. Yes.
