Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on coloring the plaster with a specific color so that the owner of the grave is known when it is visited?
Answer:
This is permissible. This is a type of plastering. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade plastering graves. Therefore, coloring the markers or coloring the surface of the grave with paint is not permissible, because it is a type of plastering. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
