The ruling on reciting specific surahs for the dying and the virtues of the surahs

Question:
We also received a fax, Honorable Shaykh, in which the questioner Abu Muhammad says: There are some surahs that some people habitually recite, such as reciting Surat Ya-Sin for the dying person or at the condolence gathering. They consider al-Waqi'ah to be a protection against poverty and the like. Some hadiths regarding the virtues of certain surahs have spread, but the source of these hadiths is unknown. I hope you will clarify this, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
Yes. Reciting Surat Ya-Sin for the dying person before his soul departs has a hadith reported about it, but it is weak. It is weak and cannot be used as evidence. The obligatory or recommended thing for the dying person is to be taught to say, "There is no god but Allah," as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Teach your dying ones to say, 'There is no god but Allah.'" If , the dying person is taught the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) so that he dies upon it. As for reciting Ya-Sin, no evidence has been established for it, and leaving it is better. As for reciting al-Waqi'ah on the occasion of condolences, this has no basis; it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). As for the virtues of the surahs, some surahs have established virtues, such as being equal to a third of the Qur'an, and likewise Surat al-Baqarah being the peak of the Qur'an, and that the house in which it is recited is one from which the Shaytan flees. There is no doubt that evidence has been established regarding the virtue of some surahs. However, that every surah has a specific virtue has not been reported. The entire Qur'an, in general, is the speech of Allah, and all of it contains great virtue. Its virtue over the speech of people is like the virtue of Allah over His creation. But specifying certain surahs or certain verses with a particular virtue requires evidence. Yes.
