Question
Some people are saying that it is not allowed to read Qur'aan on behalf of the deceased. They say it is bid'ah. They say Mufti Ismail Menk of Zimbabwe has told them this. Is he correct?
Answer
It is highly meritorious to recite the Qur'aan Majeed as an act of Isaal-e-Thawaab. Those who are saying that it is bid'ah are ignoramuses who do not follow any of the Math-habs of the Ahlus Sunnah. Menk is a Salafi masquerading as a Hanafi. Salafis believe that there is no thawaab for the mayyit by reciting the Qur'aan Majeed. Salafi morons are deviates and astray.
