Marking graves and distinguishing them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Between the hands, as soon as you finish, you mark the grave of a man, as soon as you finish, you mark the grave of a man, approaching from the head side, and before the woman, approaching from the head side, and from the side of his hands, and likewise it is obligatory for the temporary [pilgrimage]
Answer:
There is no difference between graves; one does not place a marker on the head side or the feet side, nor on the markers for the old and the young, men and women; there is no distinction between them. One does not distinguish the grave of a woman from the grave of a man, nor the grave of a young person from the grave of an old person. If one needs to place a mark on the grave in order to recognize it when visiting and making supplication for the deceased, there is no harm in doing so, provided that it is not writing and not plastering. One places a small stone as a mark on the grave, or draws a line near it, or something similar to these marks that only he knows. Yes.
