Is it permissible to dedicate the completion of the Qur'an to more than one deceased person, or to dedicate it to a living person?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The reward for dedicated recitation reaches the near or the distant, or the unknown, whether alive or dead, according to the preponderant opinion. It is permissible for the reciter to dedicate the reward of their complete recitation to one or more deceased individuals. However, it is better for the recitation to be for oneself, and for the deceased to be specified with supplication and charity. The arrival of the reward and the permissibility of recitation do not contradict the undesirability of dedicating recitation to the dead.
