📖🕌 Reciting Yaseen for the Dead: The 40-Day Bid'ah! | Shaykh Uthman Ibn Farooq

Topics Covered: Practices Following a Death:

Calling people to recite Surah Yasin or other practices. Using social media posts to send blessings for the deceased. Islamic Guidelines for Death and Funerals:

Islam provides complete guidance, including: Washing the body. Funeral prayer (janazah). Burial process. Offering condolences. Innovations in Funeral Practices:

Criticism of introducing non-Islamic customs, such as: Delivering khutbahs at funerals. Performing multiple speeches by competing imams. Specific rituals like: 40-day commemorations (chaliswan), 3-day, 7-day, and other such practices, which have roots in Hindu traditions. Serving food (e.g., biryani) at funerals. Giving soap as part of funeral customs. Islamic Encouragements:

Focusing on dua in janazah prayer. Providing food for the grieving family rather than burdening them with hosting responsibilities. Reflecting on the transient nature of life while staying within Islamic limits. Humorous Observations:

Questioning why cultural practices like calling everything "Sharif" (e.g., Fatiha Sharif, Milad Sharif) exist but not for acts like zakat or salah. Mentioning unrelated cultural traditions like Halim in Muharram or soap distribution at janazahs. General Advice:

Avoiding burdensome innovations and sticking to authentic practices taught by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Simplifying funeral arrangements to alleviate stress for the grieving family.
