Question:
There is a widespread habit among the people, namely, reading light on the soul of the deceased, please indicate the ruling on this habit, and May Allah reward you?
Answer:
The scholars differed concerning the courtesy of reading is dead, and most of them went to the passport analogy to charity. The view of scholars that can not guide reading, does not reach the reward, so that is the reward buried does not cut a person for himself, and does not have rights to dispose of it, but the project is an act of worship of others as charity for, is limited by what was stated, did not respond for Prophet peace be upon him, or about one of his companions, reading about the Dead, is not no permission, and this view is.
And not to Al-Fatiha in the privacy of this provision. Did not differentiate Almgizon and Inhibitors between the opening and others, The allocation of light that has no basis, is well known that those who love the reading light on the soul of the deceased from the public or others singled with some conditions and events, such as read when buried, or when mourning a heretic, or when you solace, This is all heresies, like those who stand standing in mourning for the dead and read stuff. It should be noted that the rental of reading the Koran and the reward is haraam to guide the tenant and the tenant according to scholarly consensus, because the gangster who reads the Koran does not reward him, you should beware of this evil habit reprehensible.

And Allah knows best
