Does the reward of one who recites the Qur'an reach his parents?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the reward of one who gives the Qur'an to his parents, meaning a complete recitation, reach them?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : A complete recitation, meaning a complete recitation of the Qur'an: does the reward of the one who recites the Qur'an reach his parents?
The Shaykh : What I believe is that every righteous deed that comes from a righteous child, its reward and its wage reach the parents of this doer of the righteous deed. This is a matter agreed upon by the scholars, as far as I know, and that is for evidence, among which is[An-Najm 53:39], and if you combine this verse with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) , then as long as the child is from the earnings of the parents, every righteous deed he does is considered from the earnings of the parents. However, it appears to me, from some hadiths that came explicitly regarding charity, for example, that if the child intends with his righteous deed his parents, that is more beneficial for them than if he did not intend it and the reward of his deed came to them, as is said today, and as I explained earlier, automatically, whether he intended it or not, the parents are rewarded. But if he specifically designates the parents and intends the righteous deed for them, that is better for them, by the permission of Allah the Exalted.

And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives
وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعىThe sweetest earnings are the earnings of a man from the work of his hand, and your children are from your earnings.
أطيب الكسب كسب الرجل من عمل يده ، وإن أولادكم من كسبكم
