regarding answer 2226:
I see in my mosque something called a ‘khutm’ where the people get together and
recite sura yasin (36) saying that helps the dead or something similar. Is there
any daleel in support of this?
wa salam.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no saheeh evidence (daleel) to indicate
that this practice is prescribed in shareeah. Therefore it is an act of
bidah (innovation) which we should avoid, warn others against and not
take part in. We should adhere to the sunnah, which contains sufficient alternatives
to all the innovated practices. The hadeeth Recite Yaa-Seen for your dead
is a daeef (weak) hadeeth. See Question #734.
And Allaah is the Source of strength..
