What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Read Yasin over your dead," and what is the ruling on reciting it at the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : May peace and mercy of Allah be upon you, O honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : What is the authenticity of the hadith that says:

Recite sura. Ya Sin(Qur’an, xxxvi) over your dead.

اقرأوا سورة يس على موتاكم

Mishkat al-Masabih 1622

, and some people recite it at the grave.

The Shaykh :

Read Yasin over your dead

اقرأوا على موتاكم يس

, this hadith is weak; it has some weakness in it. If the hadith were authentic, the place for the recitation would be at the time of death, when the person is in the throes of death, then Surat Yasin is recited over him.
The scholars said: There is a benefit in it, which is facilitating the exit of the soul, because it contains the saying of Allah the Exalted:

⁽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."

قيل ادخل الجنة قال يا ليت قومي يعلمون * بما غفر لي ربي وجعلني من المكرمين

[Ya-Sin 36:26-27]

So it is recited for the dying person, if the hadith is authentic. As for reciting it at the grave, there is no basis for it.
