Reciting Surat Ya-Sin for one who is about to die

Question :

Is it legislated to recite Surat Ya-Sin for one who is about to die?

Answer:

The scholars of Fiqh recommended the recitation of this Surah in the presence of one who is about to die. Some of the people of knowledge have mentioned that it is from that which eases the coming out of the soul. The recommendation to recite it in the presence of one who is about to die is based upon the statement of the Prophet:
"Recite Ya-Sin over your dying."

This Hadith has been graded weak by some of the people of knowledge and some of them have used it as a proof. Therefore, if it is recited, I hope that there is no harm in that. If it is not recited and the people limit themselves to encouraging the dying person to say 'La ilaha illallah' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), so that it will be his last words in this world, then that is good.
