Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, a plaque is placed on graves with the name of the deceased written on it. What is it obligatory for us to do regarding this matter, knowing that if we remove the plaques ourselves, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) will occur among the people?

Do not remove them, but teach the people, teach them, call them to Allah, and explain it to them. Yes.
