Question : May Allah bless you. It is not recommended to mark the grave, but if the deceased is among the famous, such as a scholar, and there is a fear that once his grave has settled, people will visit it frequently, and perhaps they will seek blessing from it, and then proceed to worship it,
Answer : In any case, if this is feared in a country where people are accustomed to exaggeration regarding the graves of the righteous, it should not be done. But in our country, praise be to Allah, it is marked only so that whoever wishes to visit it and make du'a for him can find it. Yes.
