Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother says: When the deceased is buried in the cemetery, people come and recite Surah Ya-Sin and[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] over the grave of the deceased. Is this permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible. Surah Ya-Sin is only recited for the dying person before he dies. As for over his grave, Surah Ya-Sin is not recited, nor anything else. However, supplication is made for him after the burial, and during the visit, supplication is made for him for forgiveness, mercy, and salvation from the Fire. As for reciting Surah Ya-Sin or anything else over the deceased at his grave, this is not prescribed. Yes.
