The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an over Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Which surah is recited over the graves, or over a grave: Surat al-Fatihah or Surat al-Ikhlas?

Answer:
There is no recitation over the graves, neither Surat al-Fatihah nor Surat al-Ikhlas nor anything from the Qur'an; because this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Nothing has been reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding recitation at the graves. Yes.
