Placing a marker on a grave to identify it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I placed a marker on my father’s grave so that I would recognize it when visiting. Is my action correct?
Answer:
If the marker is one that only you know, and you placed a stone, a stick, or a line on it without writing, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if you wrote on it, or placed plaster, paint, or dyes on it, that is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
