The third question of Fatwa No. ( 8864 ):
Q3: What is the thing indicated by the Book and the Sunnah regarding salvation from the punishment of the grave? Are there any Prophetic hadiths or specific supplications we recite daily for salvation from the punishment of the grave? I have read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about reciting Surat al-Mulk daily. How many times is this surah recited in a day, and what is the time for recitation? Thank you.
A3: The thing indicated by the Book and the Sunnah regarding salvation from the punishment of the grave is performing what Allah has made obligatory upon the servant and leaving what He has forbidden him, and increasing in repentance, seeking forgiveness, and virtuous deeds, and frequently seeking refuge
with Allah from the punishment of the grave. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:102] , and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek refuge at the end of the prayer from four things, one of which was the punishment of the grave, and he commanded that. As for reciting Surat al-Mulk to seek refuge in it from the punishment of the grave, we do not know of a sound hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicating that. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad , and his family and his Companions, and peace.

O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
