1. Is it permissible to recite the Quran and dedicate its reward to the deceased, and does the reward reach the deceased and the reciter? 2. Is it permissible to give charity on behalf of the deceased, despite the cessation of a person's deeds upon their death? 3. Is a Quran reciter obligated to read from all the copies of the Quran present in their home?
There is no legal impediment for a Muslim to recite the Holy Quran and dedicate its reward to the deceased. The reward for the recitation reaches the deceased, just like charity. The reciter of the Quran is rewarded for his recitation, and the cessation of a person's deeds upon their death does not prevent the reward of another's deeds from reaching them if it is dedicated to them. The impediment is dying upon disbelief. The reciter is not obliged to read from all the copies of the Quran he possesses, rather it is recommended for him to read or look into them daily so that they are not abandoned.
