Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on placing flowers, tree leaves, and some papers on graves?
Answer:
It is forbidden, and it is not permissible. This is an exaggeration regarding graves. So it is not permissible to place anything on them, except what preserves them, such as pebbles that preserve their soil. So nothing is to be placed on them, because this is a means to exaggeration regarding graves, and a means to religious innovations (bid'ah).
