Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah reward you. There are some questions. Yes. The first question is: How authentic are these two hadiths? “Recite Yasin over your dead,” and is it recited over the one who is dying?
Answer:
The scholars have pointed out that this hadith is not authentic. It is narrated from Abu Uthman from Ma'qil ibn Yasar. Some people thought it was Abu Uthman al-Nahdi and authenticated it, such as Ibn Hibban. Others noticed that it is an unknown person who narrated it from his father from Ma'qil, so they weakened it. The established view is that it is weak. However, there is no harm in reciting the Qur'an over the one who is dying but has not yet died, because he may benefit from it. For this reason, a group of scholars recommended reciting Yasin when the one who is dying is present so that he may benefit from it, and there is no harm in that. Or if other verses from the Book of Allah are recited, there is no harm, but the hadith is weak. Yes.
