Reciting Surat Yasin for the deceased and Surat Tabaarak

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is Surat Tabaarak recited daily? And is Surat Yasin recited for the deceased?

Answer:
It is not established that Yasin is recited for the one who is dying or for the deceased. Nothing is recited for the deceased; rather, it is reported that Surat Yasin is recited for the one who is dying, but the hadith is not established. As for Tabaarak, it is a great surah, and it is reported that reciting it saves one from the punishment of the grave. However, I do not know that making it a habit to recite it every night is prescribed. If one recites it at times, seeking the reward, there is virtue in it, as established in the hadith:
That it saves one from the punishment of the grave.أنها تنجي من عذاب القبر.
Yes.
