Surah Yaseen Reading for Person Passing Away of Muslim Society: Case Study of Regulation and Evidence

Abstract

Reading Surah Yaseen for the person who is going to die has been widely practised  by most of Muslim society, because they regard this surah as a very glorious and useful one. So the aim of writing this article is to study about the Islamic provision and evidence about reading Surah Yaseen for that person. From the study, we found that most of the Islamic scholars from many Islamic religious sects (mazhabs) have the idea of encouragement and support to read that surah for the person who is going to die.They hold the evidences from many sections of the sayings of the Prophet (Hadeeth) that are weak (dha'eef) and very weak (dha'eef jiddan), because they think that the weak Hadeeth can be used in practising good deeds.
