Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to write the supplication for the deceased on the gate of the cemetery?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. This opens the door to writing on graves in the future. Also, there is no report of writing the supplication on the gate of the cemetery. A fatwa has been issued by the Permanent Committee prohibiting this.
