Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to write on the grave of a deceased person?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade writing on graves, forbade plastering graves, forbade building on graves, and forbade lighting graves with lamps, oil lamps, or electricity, because these are means of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and exaggeration regarding graves. Yes.
