Ruling on placing tree leaves and flowers on the grave of the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q583: The questioner says: It is customary when burying the deceased and covering him with earth that we place trees and flowers on his grave, which remain evergreen on the grave. What is the ruling?
A583: This is not permissible, and this is among the religious innovations and superstitions. It does not benefit the deceased at all to place flowers or trees on him. What benefits the deceased, if Allah accepts it, is supplication for him, seeking forgiveness for him, and giving charity on his behalf. As for the flowers, they do not benefit the deceased at all; rather, they are superstitions and customs for which Allah has not sent down any authority.
