Is reciting the Qur’an for the deceased—half a juz' daily to complete a full recitation every two months—considered an ongoing charity for them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in reciting the Qur'an and dedicating its reward to the deceased, and it is hoped that the deceased will benefit from it. However, it is not considered an ongoing charity ( Jariyah); ongoing charity is an endowment (waqf).
