The Ruling on Reciting Al-Fatihah When Visiting Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When I visit the grave of a person, is it prescribed that I recite Surat al-Fatihah there?
Answer:
No, nothing from the Qur'an is to be recited at graves. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Nothing from the Qur'an is recited in graveyards, nor at graves, nor at the bedside of the dying, even. As for the hadith, meaning regarding the dying, this hadith is not established. It is not established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is not acted upon. Yes.
