Reward of esaal-e-thawaab distributed among the marhooms
Question
When a person reads Surah Yaseen once, he gets the reward of reading the Quraan 10 times. If for example he makes the intention of isaale-thawaab for 10 people in his family when reading the surah, will they each receive the reward of 1 Quraan each, or 10 Quraans each? As in is the reward divided amongst them or each person gets the full reward?
So when making intentions as well for isaale-thawaab, is there a difference between saying "all the marhooms" or specifically mentioning a person's name that you want the reward to be sent to?
Answer
Insha Allah they will get the reward for all the recitation.
Both are permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
