Is it permissible to combine the intention of dedicating the reward of reading the Qur'an to the deceased with seeking protection from calamities and intrigues?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to dedicate the reward of recitation to Muslims, whether living or deceased. And every act of worship performed by a Muslim, the reward of which he dedicates to another Muslim, is permissible and beneficial to him, whether it is a voluntary act or an obligatory one, such as Hajj, prayer, supplication, seeking forgiveness, charity, and fasting. It is recommended to dedicate the reward by saying: "O Allah, make the reward of such and such for so and so." It is also permissible to have multiple intentions in a single act, such as the intention of dedicating the reward and averting misfortune, for secret charity extinguishes the wrath of the Lord, and doing good deeds protects against evil fates.
