Is it permissible to perform communal Tasbeeh with a thousand-bead rosary, especially at funerals with the family of the deceased, and with the intention of dedicating the reward of the Dhikr and Tasbeeh to the deceased?

Reciting the "Alfiyyah Tasbih" (thousandfold glorification) and dedicating its reward to the deceased is an innovation (bid'ah) for which there is no evidence. However, if a person gives charity or recites whatever he wishes from the Qur'an and dedicates its reward to the deceased, it will reach them, God willing.
