The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an at the Grave After Burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an at the grave after burial, such as Surah Yasin?

Answer:
It is a bid'ah (religious innovation). It is not permissible to recite at the grave or over the funeral; this is not permissible. It was only reported for the time of death throes, before the soul departs. It was reported that Surah Yasin is recited for the dying person, but this is not established either, and there is discussion regarding it. Yes.
