Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, a Sudanese resident in Riyadh, says: What is the ruling on reciting Surat al-Fatihah and Surat Yasin when we are burying the deceased in the cemetery?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it has no basis and no evidence for it. What is done when burying the deceased is that after completing the burial, they stand at his grave and ask for him, seek forgiveness for him, and ask Allah for steadfastness for him, because it is the time of the questioning by the two angels, so they ask Allah for steadfastness for him during the questioning. This is what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
