The ruling on writing numbers in graveyards

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on writing numbers in graveyards to identify the locations of the graves?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Writing is absolutely forbidden; no writing of lines, letters, symbols, or numbers. He prohibited writing, and this is a general prohibition.
