What is the meaning of: “When the son of Adam dies, his deeds are cut off”?

May Allah reward you with good. He also asks about the meaning of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): I heard from the program that the reward for reciting the Qur'an does not reach the deceased, and that what people do, such as reciting the Qur'an and other things, all of this is religious innovation. So how does a righteous son make du'a' for his father? And what is intended by this du'a'?
Answer: The hadith is to be taken at its apparent meaning, and it is a valid hadith narrated by Muslim in his Sahih: As for du'a', one says: O Allah, forgive my father, O Allah, have mercy on him, O Allah, settle him in Paradise, O Allah, multiply his good deeds, O Allah, cover his sins, O Allah, raise his rank among the guided, and similar to this are the good supplications. This is the du'a'.
As for reciting the Qur'an, whether it is read and its reward sent to the deceased, there is disagreement among the scholars regarding this:
Some of the scholars said: It reaches the deceased and he benefits from it. A large number of scholars held this view, and they analogized it to charity.
Others said: No. Because acts of worship are based on divine legislation, and nothing is permitted in them except what the Shari'ah has brought in an explicit text. There is no report in the Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor in the Noble Book, that indicates the legitimacy of sending the reward of the Qur'an, or prayer, or fasting for one who does not have an obligatory fast to make up. Since this did not come, it must be left; because the believer only does what he has been commanded and what has been legislated for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: it is rejected. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the position of this opinion held by a group of the scholars, and it is more apparent in the evidence and closer to the evidence. In what Allah has legislated, sufficiency is found in charity, du'a', and Hajj on behalf of the deceased, and performing the obligatory fast on his behalf if he died with fasting from Ramadan, or an expiation, or a vow remaining upon him. It is performed on his behalf by his relatives. As for fasting that they do voluntarily on his behalf, or prayer, or reciting the Qur'an, there is no evidence indicating this, so it must be left in order to stand with the texts. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
