Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the markers placed on a grave one, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did at the grave of Uthman ibn Maz'un, or are they two?
Answer:
There are two markers at the boundaries of the grave so that it is known to be a grave and is not plowed over, and one marker is not sufficient. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed a stone on the grave of Uthman ibn Maz'un in order to make it visible, may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace. He placed a stone as a sign. Yes. As for the markers, they are to define the grave, meaning that it is known so that it is not trampled upon, not desecrated, and not mentioned a second time. Yes.
