Is the person with the dying one required to recite Surat Yasin?

The questioner : Is the person with the dying one required to recite Surat Yasin?

The Shaykh : Is he not on the phone with the author?

The questioner : I mean, it is befitting.

The Shaykh : It is according to the opinion of the one who holds that the hadith is good. In short.

The questioner : So in his case, we say it is recommended or there is no harm. Yes. It is not prescribed.

The Shaykh : No, this was not reported as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approving it, but I say: this hadith was mentioned, and even if there is a concern with it, it is said: "Praise be to Allah, we do it." If it is authentic, then it is required; otherwise, it does no harm, if Allah wills. And we have mentioned to you a rule stated by the author of al-Nukat 'ala al-Muharrar: if the prohibition is in a weak hadith, it is understood as dislike (makruh), and the command is understood as recommendation (mustahabb).
