Will reward reach the deceased from a gathering of innovation?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by IslamicPortal.co.uk

If there is a gathering which scholars have deemed to be wrong and an innovation, and in that gathering the Qurʾān is recited for the deceased, will the reward reach them?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

Answer

The reward will reach the deceased and the participants will be sinful for involvement in the innovation.

جاء في تذكرة الرشيد (١/١٠٢): مولوی ولایت حسین صاحب نے ایک مرتبہ عرض کیا کہ حضرت جس طور پر مبتدعین فاتحہ وار ایصال ثواب کرتے ہیں کیا اسکا ثواب مردوں کو پہونچتا ہے؟ (ج) معا ارشاد فرمایا : اصل قرائت کا ثواب کیوں نہ پہونچیگا اگرچہ اور زاید امور کا گناہ بھی ہو، فمن یعمل مثقال ذرۃ خیرا یرہ، الآیۃ۔
