Reciting Surat Yasin for the deceased at the time of death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on reciting Surat Yasin for the deceased or at the time of death?

Answer:
This has been reported, but it is not established. It was reported
Recite Yasin (Surah no. 36), over those who are dying.اقرؤوا على موتاكم يس
Bulugh al-Maram 537
but the hadith is not established. The dying person is taught the testimony of faith; he is told, "Say: There is no god but Allah." If he says it, it is not repeated to him. If he speaks other words after that, it is repeated a second time: "Say: There is no god but Allah." They remind him of it.
