Does reading the Qur’an at the grave harm the deceased?

The permissibility of reciting the Quran at graves is a matter of scholarly disagreement, with some considering it an innovated bid'ah. Previous fatwas have favored the view that it is an impermissible innovation. Designating Friday specifically for visiting graves is a bid'ah if it stems from a belief in its superior virtue. The visit of women to graves is disliked by a group of jurists, especially with frequent visitation.

The advice is to avoid excessive visitation to the mother's grave, not to designate Friday for it, and not to recite the Quran at the grave. Rather, one should supplicate for the deceased for forgiveness and mercy. If the Quran is recited at home and a supplication is made for the deceased, it benefits them. If the reward of the recitation is gifted to the deceased, it also benefits them.

There is no sin upon one who follows another opinion in matters of scholarly disagreement. It appears that the deceased is not harmed by the recitation of the Quran in their vicinity.
