The ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the dying person who has shown signs of death, and at the burial of the deceased

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. In his other question, he asks: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an at the grave when burying the deceased? Did any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do this?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to recite the Qur'an at the funeral or at the grave, because there is no evidence from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. Rather, it is recited for the dying person, for the one in the process of dying. It is reported that Surat Ya-Sin is recited for him, according to what is in the chain of narration as stated.
However, if it is done for the dying person, there is no harm, though leaving it is better. As for after his soul has departed, reciting over him is not permissible, because this is something , and a fortiori, reciting at the graves. This is something that has not been reported.

The questioner:
This includes reciting in condolence gatherings.

The Shaykh:
Reciting in condolence gatherings, reciting for the soul of the deceased, reciting Surat al-Fatihah for the soul of the deceased, all of this is not prescribed. What is prescribed is giving charity on behalf of the deceased, making du'a' for him, seeking forgiveness for him, and performing Hajj and 'Umrah on his behalf. This is what the evidence has come for. Yes.
