Question:
This questioner, the listener, is Fadl Allah, a Sudanese resident in Libya. Among his questions, O honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible for us to recite the Noble Qur'an for the deceased? Is this disliked or permissible?
Answer:
Nothing is recited for the deceased... What benefit does the deceased derive from recitation for him? Rather, Surat Yasin is recited for the one who is on the verge of death; there is no harm in that according to a group of scholars, before he dies. As for the deceased, nothing is recited for him. He has returned to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and he does not benefit from this. He should be supplicated for with forgiveness and mercy if he was a Muslim. Yes.
