Does the growth of grass on a grave indicate that its owner is being blessed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. This questioner says: If a grave grows green trees or green plants on it, does this indicate that its owner is being blessed or that he has a high rank in the Hereafter? Does it indicate bliss or does it indicate punishment? And what is the ruling on visiting such a grave and taking care of it?

Answer:
The growth of trees or grass on a grave does not indicate anything; rather, it is due to the effect of rain falling on the grave. It grows on the grave and on other places. If there is a fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) due to the presence of these trees on the grave, and if fitnah is feared because of that, then these trees are removed. Yes.
