What a Muslim does regarding the lighting of graves and placing marble on them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, the graves are lit up at night, and all the graves have marble on them. What should I do about that?

Answer:
Make it clear to the people that this is not permissible: lighting the graves is not permissible, and placing marble and paints on them is not permissible. Make this matter clear to the people, because perhaps they are ignorant of these matters, or most of them are ignorant of them. Yes.
