Ruling on specifically reciting Surah Ya-Sin to alleviate distress
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his second question, Your Eminence! Some people say that reciting Surah Ya-Sin alleviates distress and worries, and they single out this surah, Surah Ya-Sin, from the rest of the great Qur'an. Is this correct?
Answer:
There is no basis for this. Rather, the entire Qur'an is good; it is all a source of good and blessing. Reciting the Qur'an is a means of alleviating worries and distress, a source of great good, and a means of earning Allah's pleasure. One should recite it and increase in reciting the Qur'an, and be glad with the good.
As for reciting Ya-Sin, it was reported to be recited for the dying person before he dies. It came in some hadiths—though there is some weakness in them—that it is recited for the sick person when he is on his deathbed before he dies. Yes.
