The ruling on writing the name of the deceased on the grave to identify it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to write the name on the grave so that it is known?

Answer:
It is not permissible to write. We have told you that this is a matter that is not permissible. Even numbers—number one, number two—are not permissible. Writing is not permissible in any of its forms, because we are heading toward the sunset.
