Question
Regarding acts of Isaal-e-Thawaab, does it benefit only the deceased or does the one who recites the Qur'aan or gives charity for the thawaab to reach the deceased also benefit? If for example, I recite one Juz of the Qur'aan for the reward to be for my deceased parents, do I also share in the reward?
Answer
You too will receive the full reward of the Juz which you have recited, and your parents too will receive the reward of the whole Juz. The same applies to the reward of Sadqah or of any other good deed rendered with the intention of Isaal-e-Thawaab. The Hadith explicitly mentions this.
