Reading the Qur'an at the deceased and at the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to recite the Qur'an when a person dies or after his burial?

Answer:
No, the Qur'an is not to be recited at the deceased or at the grave. What benefit does the deceased gain from the Qur'an being recited in his presence? Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: "To warn whoever is alive" — meaning the Qur'an is to warn
whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
[Ya-Sin 36:70]
