Circumambulation and Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an for the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I sometimes perform circumambulation (tawaf) for one of my deceased relatives, or my parents, or my grandparents. What is the ruling on that? Also, what is the ruling on completing the recitation of the Qur'an for them? May Allah reward you with good.
A: It is better to leave that off, as there is no evidence for it. However, it is prescribed for you to give charity on behalf of any of your relatives or others you love, provided they are Muslims, and to make supplication for them, and to perform Hajj and 'Umrah on their behalf. As for praying on their behalf, performing circumambulation on their behalf, and reciting for them, it is better to leave that off, as there is no evidence for it. Some scholars have permitted it by analogy to charity and supplication, but the safest course is to leave it off. And success is from Allah.
