Can I Recite Surah Al-Fatiha for Someone Who Passed Away?

As-salamu alaykum everyone, I was wondering if it’s okay to read Surah Al-Fatiha or Surah Yasin for those who have passed on. Is this considered a good practice in Islam, or might it be an innovation that we should avoid? JazakAllah khair for any guidance.

Yes it is highly recommended to recite Surah Al-Fatiha and dedicate the reward to the deceased. This is a common and accepted practice among Muslims for mercy.
