Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to recite something from the Qur'an after the burial of the deceased, and that on the grave?

Answer:
This is not permissible. This requires evidence. Reciting the Qur'an on graves or in graveyards is a bid'ah (religious innovation) because there is no evidence for it, and what has no evidence for it is a bid'ah.
