The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, some people, when they complete a recitation of the Qur'an outside of prayer, in Ramadan or otherwise, dedicate its reward to a deceased person, saying: "O Allah, make its reward and its benefit for so-and-so." What is the ruling on this action? Is supplication after completing the recitation of the Qur'an prescribed? Does a person raise his hands or gather anyone for that supplication? And what is its transmitted wording?
The Shaykh : Supplication upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an during prayer has no basis, as far as we know, neither from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor from the Companions. However, if you pray behind an imam who supplicates upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an, follow him and say "Ameen" to his supplication. As for supplication upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an outside of prayer, the scholars have mentioned "that Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) used to, when he finished the Qur'an, gather his family and supplicate". Anas ibn Malik is one of the Companions, and the action of a Companion is a proof according to many scholars of knowledge. So if a person does what Anas did upon completing the recitation of the Qur'an in his home, gathering his family and supplicating, there is nothing wrong with it. In the state of supplication, he raises his hands, because the original ruling for every prescribed supplication is the permissibility of raising the hands, especially the supplication in which a person persists and pleads with Allah. Raising the hands increases a person's strength of certainty and trust in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
