ABSTRACT
This narration and others like it imply that the Qur
) an is not to be read in
graveyards. Qur ) anic recitation is
encouraged in the house, and making it like a graveyard, in which no recitation should take place, is forbidden. As for the recitation of sura Ya sin, there is no narration concerning graveyards and the narration about its recitation over the dying is inauthentic. Most of the scholars hold it permissible for women to visit graves. This is based on the following hadith from
( A
) isha: ‘What
should I say to them, O Messenger of Allah when visiting graves?’
