My grandfather and mother are dead, my mum tells me to read the Quran for them, is this allowed? If not why?

Answer

As Muslims, we believe in Isaal-e-Sawaab (sending reward) for the deceased by performing virtuous acts, for example, reciting Qur'aan, giving charity, etc.

The deceased benefits from the rewards sent to them.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
