Is it permissible to recite Surat Ya-Sin and dedicate its reward to the deceased?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to recite the Quran and dedicate its reward to the deceased, but no authentic has been reported that specifies particular surahs for this, including Yasin. Many hadith scholars have deemed the hadith "Recite Yasin upon your dead" weak due to the unknown status of Abu Uthman and his father, and the instability of the hadith narration.
