Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions, she says: My esteemed Shaykh, I heard from one of my friends that when passing by graves, it is recommended for the Muslim to recite Surat al-Ikhlas eleven times, and the Verse of the Throne on that day, so that the punishment is lifted from them, and Allah forgives them according to their number. Is this a religious innovation?

Answer:
All of this is invalid, it has no basis. This is invalid, it has no basis. It is a religious innovation, a clear religious innovation, it has no basis. But when he passes by them, he greets them, saying:
Peace be upon you, abode of the people of faith, and we, if Allah wills, are to follow you. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come afterالسلام عليكم دار قوم مؤمنين، وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون، نسأل الله لنا ولكم العافية، يرحم الله المستقدمين منا والمستأخرين
This is for the man, but the woman does not visit graves. However, if the man passes by them, he greets them. As for reciting
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Surat al-Ikhlas: 1] or the Verse of the Throne, all of this has no basis. Yes.
