The ruling on waqf (endowment) for reciting the Qur'an for the endower after his death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman passed away, Your Eminence, and left a piece of land for whoever would recite the Qur'an for her after her death. How should that land be handled? Especially since we have heard that reciting the Qur'an and dedicating its reward to the dead is not permissible. This question is from the listener: Isa Muhammad Salim.
Answer:
Yes, reciting the Qur'an for the dead is not prescribed. However, the produce of this land should be spent on groups of Qur'an teachers. Its produce should be given to those who teach the Qur'an, and she will have a great reward for this. It supports them... in the Qur'an groups in the town, or in any town. The produce should be given to those in charge of teaching the Qur'an, so that they can use it for teachers' salaries, or for buying books, and the like. As for reciting the Qur'an for the deceased woman, no. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
