Reciting Qur’an at the graveside

Answered by 

Q: When I visit the qabrastaan, I sit near the grave of my relative and recite a Surah from the Qur’an and I make esale sawab of that surah to them and make dua for them. I want to know whether this is allowed. Is there anything wrong that I am doing?

Bismillaah

A: This is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
