The questioner : Was it reported in the Sunnah to recite Surat Yasin aloud in the cemetery in a group?
The Shaykh : That was not reported in the Sunnah, neither with a loud voice nor a low voice, nor in a group, nor individually. Rather, it came in the hadith:Bulugh al-Maram 537 This hadith is not agreed upon as authentic or good; rather, there is disagreement over whether it is authentic or weak. If it is authentic, the meaning is that Surat Yasin should be recited for the dying person, meaning that if we know that a man is dying or a woman is dying, then Yasin is recited to him with a voice that the dying person can hear, because of the mention of the believer's end, the mention of Paradise and the Fire, and the mention of some of the verses of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This may be a cause for a good ending for this deceased person to whom we recited this surah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : That was not reported in the Sunnah, neither with a loud voice nor a low voice, nor in a group, nor individually. Rather, it came in the hadith:
Recite Yasin (Surah no. 36), over those who are dying.
اقرؤوا على موتاكم يسThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
