The reward of reciting the Qur'an reaching the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received this question, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the reward of reciting the Noble Qur'an: does it reach the deceased's father?
Answer:
There is no evidence in the texts regarding reciting the Qur'an for the dead. Any act of worship that has no evidence is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. It does not reach the deceased, and it has no reward. If you want to benefit your father, you benefit him through what is prescribed, such as charity, supplication, and seeking forgiveness for him, or performing Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf. Yes.
