“Recite Yasin for your dead” This hadith is weak, and the place of recitation, if the hadith were authentic, is at the time of death when the person is in the throes of death, for Surat Yasin is recited for him,The scholars said: and there is a benefit in it, which is facilitating the departure of the soul;Because in it is the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Yasin:26-27] so it is recited for the dying person, this if the hadith is authentic, but as for reciting it at the grave, there is no basis for it.
