The ruling on reciting Surat Yasin for the deceased and in the graveyards

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to recite Surat Yasin for the dead after their death?

Answer:
No, going to the graveyard is not permissible, neither Yasin nor anything else. Reciting at the graves or in the graveyard is not permissible; this is something that has not been transmitted. As for reciting it for the one who is dying, there is a weak hadith regarding this that is not suitable for use as evidence. Yes.
