About Reading Quran for the deceased – Three days following a person’s death, some people finish reading the whole Qur’an. What is the ruling on this, and does the reward go to the person who died due to it?. All these questions and more we will discuss in this topic.
Reading Quran for the Deceased
Also, about reading Quran for the deceased, and in Islamic law, there are no restrictions on reading the Quran. One of the most effective ways for a Muslim to come closer to his Lord is to read the Qur’an. Scholars agree that reading the Qur’an to a deceased person is allowed at the moment of death or afterward; in his house, at the mosque, at his graveside or any other location; and at the time of burial or after that.
Is It Permissible to Give a Departed Person the Reward of Reciting the Quran?
Is it permissible to gift the reward of one’s Qur’an recitation to a deceased person, and will such recitation help them?
Or, as others allege, is this an innovation (bid’ah) that contradicts mainstream Islam?
Unfortunately, this subject has sparked a lot of debate and heated debate among Muslims in recent years.
It is increasingly normal to see Muslims shunning other Muslims over the matter, expressing hostility against them, or even labeling them as deviants as a result!
However, Islam forbids such bigotry and intolerance, and the shari’ah does not sanction it.
An impartial examination of the topic indicates that classical jurists disagreed on:
Whether or not the benefits of Quranic recitation might be “donated” or “given” to the departed is known as isal al-thawab or ihda al-thawab.
One set of academics believes it can be donated and that the deceased would profit from it, whereas the other thinks it cannot.
The vast majority of jurists agree that such a gift reaches the departed and that they gain from it.
Any act of worship a person conducts, presenting its reward to a departed Muslim, the deceased would profit from it; God willing,’ Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi declared in his highly famous al-Mughni, typifying the favored position. Now, as for prayer, seeking pardon, and providing alms [on behalf of others], or those acts that can be performed on someone else’s behalf, I am not aware of any distinction in their permissibility.’
Hadiths About Reading Quran for the Deceased
In light of the discussion of Reading Qur’an for the deceased, and her leave or non it.
We go on to offer a few genuine hadith that unequivocally prove that some acts of devotion performed by the living can reach and benefit the departed. These are the acts:
Making a Du’a and Asking for a Pardon (Istighfar)
Because the Qur’an instructs living believers to Duaa for their departed brethren, as stated in verse:
“Our Lord! Forgive our brethren who came before us in faith and us.”[59:10]
Charity (sadaqah)
According to the lady ‘A’ishah, S’ad b.
“Ubadah said: O Messenger of God! My mother died unexpectedly without leaving a will. Would she reap the rewards if I were to give charity on her behalf? He replied: ‘Yes!'”[Bukhari, no.1388; Muslim, no.1004]
Pilgrimage (hajj)
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was asked:
My mother promised to go on pilgrimage, but she died before she had the opportunity. Shouldn’t I make a journey on her behalf? ‘Yes,’ he said. Isn’t it true that if she had a debt, it would have to be paid?’ Yes, said the man. “The debt owed to God is more deserving of being settled.” [According to Al-Bukhari, no .6699]
Fasting (siyam)
According to the Prophet, peace be upon him:
‘Whoever dies and a fast is due upon him, a reliable family member of his must make it up in his stead.’ [Muslim, no.1147]
Slavery (‘itq)
Abd Allah b. Amr once questioned the Prophet; peace be upon him if the freeing of slaves on his behalf would help his deceased father. “Had your father been a Muslim and you emancipated slaves on his behalf, gave some charity on his behalf, or performed pilgrimage on his behalf, it would have reached him.” [Abu Dawud, no.2883]
So Quran Spirit has described all possible details about reading Quran for dead with hadiths. And how we can make dua for them for the forgiveness of their sins and to get them in Jannah.
