The Status of the Hadith: (Recite Yasin over your dead)]
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the authenticity of the hadith: (Recite Surat Yasin over your dead)? We see some people reciting Surat (Yasin) while gathered around the grave, and they recite Surat (Yasin), and some of them call the adhan inside the grave. What is the authenticity of that?
As for the hadith: (Recite Yasin over your dead) is weak, and if it is weak, we have been relieved of it,Meaning: we do not act upon it,And according to the saying of those who said: it is a hasan (good) hadith, for it is not recited at the grave, but rather it is recited at the time of death,And it has been said: reciting it for the dying person facilitates the departure of the soul because of what it contains of the mention of the reward for the people of Paradise and the bliss, such as His saying: [Yasin: 26-27] and His saying: [Yasin: 55], and it increases a person's faith in the resurrection,Such as their saying: [Yasin: 78-79] .
In any case: If the hadith is authentic, the intended meaning is to recite it for the dying person, and this is indicated by the fact that the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) clarifies some of it with other parts of it, for it has not been reported in any instance that he recited (Yasin) at the grave, nor that those who descend to the grave recite it,And he used to say only: when he finished burying the dead, he would stand over it and say: (Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask Allah to grant him steadfastness, for he is now being questioned) .

(26) It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know (27) Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ * بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَIndeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -
إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الْيَوْمَ فِي شُغُلٍ فَاكِهُونَ(78) And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" (79) Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time
وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلاً وَنَسِيَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ مَنْ يُحْيِي الْعِظَامَ وَهِيَ رَمِيمٌ * قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا الَّذِي أَنْشَأَهَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍIn any case: If the hadith is authentic, the intended meaning is to recite it for the dying person, and this is indicated by the fact that the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) clarifies some of it with other parts of it, for it has not been reported in any instance that he recited (Yasin) at the grave, nor that those who descend to the grave recite it,And he used to say only: when he finished burying the dead, he would stand over it and say: (Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask Allah to grant him steadfastness, for he is now being questioned) .
