The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an at the Burial of the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding, O Shaykh, the recitation of the Qur'an at the time of burial?
Answer:
It is a religious innovation with no basis. One does not recite the Qur'an at the burial. The place for the Qur'an is in mosques and homes, not in graves. For this reason, in the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This indicates that graves are not a place for prayer, nor a place for recitation. The place for recitation and prayer is in homes and mosques.

Make your homes a place for prayer, and do not make them graves; for Satan flees from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited
اجعلوا من صلاتكم في بيوتكم، ولا تتخذوها قبورًا؛ فإن الشيطان يفر من البيت الذي تقرأ فيه سورة البقرةThe presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
