Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on writing names on graves with the intention of identifying the person buried there?
Answer:
It is not permissible. You have heard that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade writing on them, whether names or anything else, or numbers or anything. The grave is only marked with a stone or something that only its owner, who placed it, would recognize.
