Qur.aans at the graveside for reading
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: At some graves there are Qur.aans for whoever wishes to read over the dead. What is your opinion on this?

Response: Our opinion is that this is an innovation and that which is obligatory is to transfer these Qur.aans to the masaajid for Muslims to benefit and read from them.
