Writing on the Walls of the Graveyard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on writing on the walls of the graveyard with certain letters and symbols to identify the owner of the grave?

Answer:
It is not permissible to write on graves or on their walls, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that, forbade writing and plastering, and forbade everything that leads to exaggeration regarding the deceased. It is not permissible to dig into the graves, sit on them, or treat them with disrespect. It is not permissible to raise them, and it is not permissible to exaggerate in them. Yes.
