Yaseen Khatam
Question
Please can you advise if there is a Hadith in the reading of a Yassen Khatem for a sick person? A person is seriously ill in intensive care and a suggestion is made to read Yaseen Khatem for shifa. Is this according to the Shariah? What number constitutes a Khatem?
Answer
It is permissible. This is a type of treatment and a treatment does not require a hadeeth to support it.
There is nothing hard and fast in this respect. It is based on experience.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
