Summary
Watching a video recording of a deceased person, including a late father reciting the Quran, is permissible. If the recitation is regarded as an ongoing charity (amal jariah), its reward is hoped to continue for the deceased even after death.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya ialah harus. InshaAlah jika bacaan tersebut dikira sebagai amal jariah, akan berterusan pahalanya walaupun sudah meninggal dunia.
