Question
In our country, it is customary for the family of the deceased to recite the Qur'an through the ulama or various acts of worship in order to seek forgiveness of the deceased, and to arrange food and money for them. What is its ruling in the eyes of Shariah? 1351917863
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
After the death of a person, it is not permissible to recite the Qur'an for the purpose of rewarding him. And since reciting the Qur'an with money or any kind of exchange, the reciter himself does not get any reward for that recitation. So will he reach the soul of the dead person? Because in order to reach the reward of the soul of the dead, first of all one has to get the reward of the reciter. Then he will bestow that thawab on the dead. But he is being deprived of thawab because of accepting the exchange (which is forbidden in the Shari'ah), so there is no question of thawab risani for others. Therefore, it is not permissible to transact money and accept invitations in exchange for the reward for the reward in Isal. So the Khatam will be read by themselves and will be read by people with whom they already have love. So that they read the Qur'an without exchange. 3772643676
