RECITATION OF THE HOLY QUR'AN AND DEDICATING THE REWARDS FROM IT TO THE DEAD
we argue over petty things that ought not to have our time spent on it. Recitation of the Holy Qur'an and dedicating its rewards to a deceased is permissible in Islam.
Thread

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 2. Scholars have said their all and wrote in their books that its permissible but human beings لا يزالون مختلفون إلا من رحم الله ....
Some of the things that drives us to argue is ignorance and lack of research and understanding.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 3.And these without doubt leads us to the deviate from being just.
والأصل فى التضليل ضيق الباع
وعدم الفهم والإطلاع
Scholars have diff submission to this case at hand and they had 2 diff opinions.
Allah has stated categorically in the Glorious Qur'an that human being shall

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 4. only benefit from what he has done (good or bad deeds).

The Qur'an said:
وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى
And that human has nothing (after death) except what he did (deeds)
النجم 38
And:
هل يجزون إلا ما كانوا يعملون
They shall only be rewarded with what they did (deed)

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 5. And many others.
But scholars have also stated that, these verses and their kinds doesn't connote a total disagreement with any other rewardfull act done on behalf of the deceased getting to them, for the following reasons:
1. Allah said in Suratul Hashr vs 10:

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 6.
وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 7.
And those that came after them (Al-Ansar) saying ; Oh our Lord forgive us and our brothers that left before us (died) with faith, and don't put in our hearts grudges for the believers, Oh our Lord you are the most compassionate , most merciful.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 8. And from the above verse and its likes there is an indication that good deeds good deeds done on behalf of one gets them.
2. The famous hadith of the prophet SAW:

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 9.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله تعالى عنه: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا مَاتَ ابنُ آدم انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ: صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أو عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
From Abu Hurairah R.A that

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 10. the prophet SAW said:
When son of Adam dies, he is works and deeds will halt automatically (he stop getting either reward or sin), except from 3 things;
A living charity, knowledge benefited from him and being disseminated or extended, or the prayer of a pious son to him.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 11. 3. Performing hajj on one's behalf either dead or alive, with a tangible reason or necessity:

عن ابن عباس ، رضي الله عنهما ، أن امرأة من جُهينة جاءت إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فقالت : إن أمي نذرت أن تحج ولم تحج حتى ماتت ، أفأحج عنها ؟ قال : ( نعم حجي عنها ، أرأيت لو كان

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 12. على أمك دين أكنت قاضيته ؟ اقضوا الله ، فالله أحق بالوفاء ) . [ أخرجه البخاري ] .

From Ibn Abbas that a woman from juhaynah came to the prophet SAW and said:
Verily, my mum made a vow to perform hajj and she never did till death came to her, can I perform it on her behalf ?

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 13.
he said: yes, perform it on her behalf.
He SAW further said to her:
Tell me, if your mum was indebted to someone will you pay it for her ? She said: sure, I will. He said: fufil your vows to Allah, Allah is most deserved of your vow fulfilment.

وعن ابن عباس ، رضي الله عنهما ، قال جاءت امرأة من خثعم عام حجة الوداع قالت : يا رسول الله إن فريضة الله على عباده في الحج أدركت أبي شيخًا كبيرًا ، لا يستطيع أن يستوي على الراحلة ، فهل يقضي عنه أن أحج عنه ؟ قال : ( نعم ) . [ أخرجه البخاري ومسلم

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 15.
From Ibn Abbas that a woman came Khath'am in the year the prophet did his last Hajj and said:

Oh prophet of Allah, verily, Allah's ordinance of hajj on his servants met my dad at old age, he can't ride. Is it possible for me to perform it on his behalf ? He said: Yes.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 16. So without doubt, the verse وأن ليس للإنسان and its likes are clearly referring to personal deeds after death. Because Allah said in confirming this assertion:

يوم لا ينفع نفس إيمانها لم تكن آمنت من قبل أو كسبت فى إيمانها خيرا .... سورة الأنعام

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 17.
A day that the believe of a soul will not benefit her if they had not believe before (death) or did good deeds (before death).
Since Allah and his prophet has affirmed that istighfar, hajj and prayers can be done on behalf of the deceased, and it was never recorded anywhere

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 18. that the prophet was asked about reading the Qur'an and dedicating reward to the deceased, nor did he SAW saw one do it and prohibits him from doing that, and that Qur'an is also A worship with part of the body just like Hajj, istighfar and dua.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 19. Lets ask our school of thoughts (scholarly opinions)
Its a straightforward fact that the early scholars of Malikiyyah detested it (Makruh) and the argued its rewards cannot get to the deceased. Among them was Imam As-Shafi'iyy. But the later scholars of Malikiyyah cleared the

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 20. doubt and where able to established that its permissible and the rewards will get to the deceased.
Imam Al-Qurtubiyy one of the famous Maliki scholars made it obvious in his work (At-Tadhkirah fi Ahwālil Mawtāh wa umurul ākhirah) he dedicated a chapter to that here

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 21.

وقَالَ الشَّيخُ أَحْمَدُ الدرْدِيرُ: (المُتَأَخِّرُونَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لاَ بَأسَ بِقِرَاءَةِ القُرْاَنِ والذِّكْرِ وَجَعْلِ ثَواَبِهِ لِلْمَيِّتِ وَيَحْصُلُ لَهُ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ الله، وَهُوَ مَذْهَبُ الصَّالِحِين) الشرح الكبير (1 – 423).

Sheikh Ahmad Ad-dardir said:

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 22.
" The later generation of Maliki are on the verdict that there is no problem with reading the Qur'an and making Dua (adkhar) and dedicating its rewards to the deceased. And its rewards gets to them by Allah's grace. And it is the opinion of the pious.

~~ As-Sharhul kabeer .

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 23وقال الدسوقي محشي الدردير (وفي آخر نوازل ابن رشد في السؤال عن قوله تعالى (وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ) (سورة النجم آية 39) قال وإن قرأ الرجل وأهدى ثواب قراءته للميت جاز ذلك وحصل للميت أجره.
Imam Ad-Dasuqiyy said: and in the end part of An-nawazil of ibn Rushd

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 24. under the question about the verse (وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى): And if one reads the Qur'an and dedicate its rewards to the deceased its permissible and the rewards will be extended.

قال ابن هلال في نوازله الذي أفتى به ابن رشد، وذهب إليه غير واحد من أئمتنا الأندلسيين أن

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 25. الميت ينتفع بقراءة القرآن، ويصل إليه نفعه إذا وهب القارئ ثوابه له، فقال وبه جرى عمل المسلمين شرقا وغربا، ووقفوا على ذلك أوقافا واستمر عليه الأمر في أزمنة سالفة) حاشية الدسوقي على شرح الدردير لمختصر خليل (1 – 423

Ibn hilal said the same thing and

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 26. many scholars of Andalus also did, and he said: and that has been a norm to the Muslims from east to west and they are firm on it and it continued even after previous periods.

Hashiyatu Dasuqiyy....
And as for the Shafi'iyyah it was stated that Imam Shafi'iy detested it,

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 27.
والمشهور فى مذهبنا - الشافعي - ان قراءة القرآن للميت لا يصله ثوابها. وقال جماعة من أصحابنا: يصله ثوابها.... (النووى : شرح صحيح مسلم ج٧ ص٩٠).
What is known in our sch -shafi'iy- the recitation of the Glorious Qur'an for the decease, the rewards doesn't get to him.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 28. And a group among us said it will be extended.

But it happens he later took his words back for the say of Imam Annawawiy in (Al-Azkar and Riyadus saliheen)
ويستحب أن يقرأ عنده (الميت) شيء من القرآن وإن ختموا القرآن كله كان حسناً.
(الأذكار ) و (رياض الصالحين)

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 29. And its loveable to read a portion of the Qur'an to him (deceased) and if they can read complete Qur'an its good.
The Hanaffis are all in consensus of its permissibility and no dispute to it.

In one of their greatest work (Ad-darul Mukhtār wa Raddul Muhtār) it was said:

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 30.
ويقرأ سورة يس لم ورد: من دخل المقابر فقرأ سورة يس خفف الله عنهم يومئذ ، وكان له بعدد من فيها حسنات..

الدر المختار ورد المحتار ج٢ ص٢٤٣
And Suratul Yasin is read, based on the hadith : He who enters the graveyard and reads suratul Yasin, the punished ones among them (buried)

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 31. will be granted reduction of punishment for that day. And the reciter will have a reward equivalent to the numbers of the buried.
And as for the Hambalis, they are also in consensus about it's permissibility.

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 32. Imam Ahmad supported the motion that it gets to the deceased. See An-Nawawiyy in (Sharhu Sahihu Muslim) V7 pg 90

قال ابن قدامة الحنبلي“( بعد ذكر الأحاديث ما نصه) وهذه أحاديث صحاح، وفيها دلالة على انتفاع الميت بسائر القرب، لأن الصوم والحج والدعاء والاستغفار عبادات بدنية قد

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 33. أوصل الله نفعها إلى الميت، فكذلك ما سواها مع ما ذكرنا من الحديث في ثواب من قرأ سورة (يس) وتخفيف الله -تعالى- عن أهل المقابر بقراءته، ولأنه إجماع المسلمين، فإنهم في كل عصر ومصر يجتمعون ويقرأون القرآن ويهدون ثوابه إلى موتاهم من غير نكير” (المغني ج2 568)

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 34.
Ibn Qudāmah said: (after mentioning hadiths) and these ahadiths are authentic and there is an illustration showing the deceased benefits from other deeds, because fasting and hajj, prayer and istighfār are worships that involves the body and Allah extends it rewards to the

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 35. dead and same to goes other good acts along with what we've mentioned about the rewards on reading Suratul Yasin .

And because it is a consensus of the Muslims that they practice it everywhere, gathering and reciting the Glorious Qur'an and dedicating its rewards to gone

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 36. brothers without objection from any angle
وقول شيخ ابن تيمية في قراءة القرآن للميت :إن ثوابها يصل إليه فقد ذكر أن في هذه المسألة قولين للعلماء، ثم رجح القول بوصول ثواب قراءة القرآن للميت فقال -رحمه الله- تعالى: “وأما الصيام، وصلاة التطوع، وقراءة القرآن فهذا فيه قولان للعلماء:

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 37.
الأول:- ينتفع به وهو مذهب أحمد وأبي حنيفة وغيرهما.
الثاني: لا تصل إليه وهو المشهور في مذهب مالك.

Sheikh Ibn Taimiyyah said:
" And as for Fasting, non obligatory salāh and recitation of the holy Qur'an, there are 2 diff opinions to it:
1. It rewards will extend and that's

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 38. the Verdict of Imam Ahmad and Abu Hānifah and others.

2. Its rewards don't get to the deceased and its the popular opinion in Malikiyyah.

ثم قال –رحمه الله- في فتوى له: وتنازعوا في وصول الأعمال البدنية: كالصوم والصلاة وقراءة القرآن، والصواب أن الجميع يصل إليه،

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 39. أي يصل ثوابها إلى الميت”
(مجموع فتاوى شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية ج24 ص315، ص366)

Then he said: And they disagree about extending of rewards from worships that involves the body parts like: Fast, prayer and recitation of the Holy Qur'an. And the correct opinion is that all of the

@MyAbdool @ibrahmaizare @DyHawwa 40.above extends to him (its reward).
Even though there is a guideline as to how it is done, and that the fact that it gets to the deceased doesn't mean the reciter has no rewards but he has and a similar reward will be extended to the person it was dedicated for if is a (Mu'min)
