Is a newspaper placed on the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Especially tearing the newspaper.

The Shaykh : Tearing the newspaper and placing it with the grave.

The questioner : If we know that the man has become... and it is attributed to him that he is the man. How? If we know, for example, a weak Shaykh, so to speak, do we ask him to recite?

The Shaykh : The problem now is: is this grave being punished or not? I am asking you; we do not know how to accuse the owner of the grave of being punished? I said a moment ago that this is a crime and injustice to the owner of the grave. To say that he is being punished. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not place a newspaper on everyone he buried, nor did he order it to be done. But tell me, if a man finds out that this deceased is being punished, hearing voices or seeing a dream or something similar, is this recommended for him? It appears that it is not called recommended, even if we knew. Because the strength of hope in the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is such that nothing dies for it.
