Reciting the Qur'an at the deceased when he is placed in the grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on completing the recitation of the Qur'an, or reading something from it, at the deceased when he is placed in the grave? And is this statement attributed to al-Shafi'i correct?
Answer:
No, this is not established. This is not established, so it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). What is reported is that Surah Ya-Sin is recited for the one who is dying, and the hadith regarding this is weak and subject to discussion. However, it is for the one who is dying, not for the deceased after his soul has departed. When the soul of the deceased has departed, nothing is recited for him, neither before burial nor after burial. Rather, one prays for him, seeks forgiveness for him, and gives charity on his behalf, as came in the hadiths. Yes.
