Summary
Reciting Surah Yasin is an act of worship that earns reward, since it is part of the Quran, and the general hadith in al-Tirmizi affirms the reward for reciting the Quran. This ruling assesses most of the hadiths specific to the virtues of Surah Yasin as weak or fabricated, and it could not find a source for the narration on the Friday-night prayer with Yasin and al-Mulk. Even so, Muslims are still encouraged to recite the Quran regularly at any time and place based on general evidence.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaupun begitu, kita sangat digalakkan dan dituntut untuk sentiasa melazimi dan membaca al-Quran tidak kira masa atau tempat, berdasarkan dalil umum yang terdapat di dalam al-Quran dan juga di dalam al-Sunnah al-Sahihah.
