Summary
Gifting the reward of Quran recitation to more than one deceased person at the same time is permissible. The practice is understood as a supplication asking Allah to convey the reward to the deceased, as verified by Imam al-Nawawi. Since making supplication in general terms is recommended and covers other believers, supplicating for several people is also allowed by analogy.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menyedekahkan pahala bacaan al-Quran kepada lebih daripada seorang daripada kalangan orang yang telah meninggal dunia dalam satu masa adalah diharuskan.
