The Ruling on Placing a Marker on the Grave of a Father or Relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on placing a marker on the grave of one’s father or a relative so that he can identify the grave for the purpose of visiting it?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with placing a marker that only he knows, a marker he puts on the grave, such as a stone, a stick, or a piece of iron, so that he can identify it. As long as no one else knows it, there is nothing wrong with that.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
