The question

Are the Hadiths cited by people in Bangladesh to prove the permissibility of reciting the Quran in cemeteries—which include the virtues of reciting Al-Fatiha, At-Takathur, and Al-Ikhlas, and dedicating their reward to the deceased—authentic, weak, or fabricated? And is it permissible to act upon them even if they are weak?

The answer

The narrations regarding reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas eleven times, or Al-Fatihah and Al-Takathur when visiting graves and gifting their reward to the dead, are all weak (da'if) and fabricated (mawdu') hadiths that cannot be attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

The hadith about reciting Al-Ikhlas eleven times is fabricated. The hadith about reciting Al-Fatihah and Al-Takathur is very weak. The hadith about reciting "Alhakumut-takathur" is also weak. None of these can be relied upon for virtuous deeds.
