Qur.aans at the graveside for reading

Reference: al-Bid’u wal-Muhdathaat wa maa laa Asla lahu p369
Fataawa at-Ta’ziyah p54

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.
