Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. When we have a need, we recite Surat Yasin and make supplication based on the hadith "Yasin is for what it is recited for." Is this correct? And what is the authenticity of the hadith "The heart of the Qur'an is Yasin, so recite it over your dead"?

Answer:
The hadith stating that it is recited for a need has no basis. As for reciting it for the one who is dying, a hadith has been reported: "Recite Yasin over your dead." However, there is discussion regarding this hadith, and scholars differ on its authenticity. So if one recites it for the one who is dying, there is no harm, and if one leaves it, there is no harm. But reciting it after death, or at funerals, or in the cemetery has no basis and no evidence for it, and it is considered a bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes.
