First, he writes on the gate, or on the road near the graveyard, and it is said that this is for the sake of reminding people. Then it is said that it is written inside the graveyard. Then it is said that it is written on every grave, and so on. So this is not permissible. This door must be closed and these writings must be prevented. Yes.
