Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for us to mark a grave with a sign so we can recognize it?
Answer:
Yes, this will come up, if Allah wills. It will be mentioned that it is permissible to place a stone marker or something other than writing so that the visitor can recognize it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he placed a stone on the grave of Uthman ibn Maz'un. This will come up, if Allah wills. Yes.
