    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 135/135/M=1433) (1) It is not necessary. (2) It is afdhal to recite the first part of surah al-Baqrah to head side of the dead and the last part of surah al-Baqarah to his foot side. It is proved from hadith: عن عبدالله بن عمر مرفوعاً ، وليقرأ عند رأسه فاتحة البقره وعند رجليه بخاتمه البقرة (مشكوة) .
