Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Muddaththir 74:48-49] which concerns the intercession of believers for one another, is there a report that the one who memorizes the Qur'an intercedes for his family? Or is this specific to the martyr, the martyr of the battlefield?
Answer:
The believer intercedes, whether he is a memorizer of the Qur'an or not. He intercedes if Allah permits him to do so. This intercession is a reality, without doubt. Allah has affirmed it in the Qur'an. However, we do not do what the superstitious do, who slaughter animals for the dead and seek nearness to them, saying, "They are our intercessors with Allah," just as the polytheists before us said:[Yunus 10:18] We do not take intercession as a means to worship other than Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, the Exalted:
(48) So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللَّهَ
