The ruling on reciting the Qur'an at the grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Husayn, asks in this question: Is it permissible for me to recite the Qur'an over my father's grave and to recite al-Fatihah for him? Does the reward of my recitation of this Qur'an reach him? Or should I limit myself to supplication?
Answer:
You are not permitted to recite; reciting over graves is not permissible, but supplication is sufficient. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for the dead, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him) to his companions: Teach them, when they visit the graves, to say:Sunan Ibn Majah 1547Sahih (Darussalam). We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. And in the other wording: Sunan an-Nasa'i 2037Sahih (Darussalam). This is the Sunnah. As for recitation, it is not prescribed; rather, it is a religious innovation. Yes.
