Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to place a number on a grave, rather than writing the name of the deceased?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to place a number. One places, for example, a stone that only the one who placed it knows, or draws a line in the ground or something similar.
