Conveying the reward of good deeds to the deceased
Question
I saw a board inside Janatul-Baqi that says that " it's not allowed to recite any Surah of Quran at graveyard because there is no such evidence from Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) life" and furthermore an instructor at Janatul-Baqi advised not to recite any Surah from Quran at the graveyard. Please advise.
