Prohibition of Writing on Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on the prohibition of writing on graves?
Yes.

The Prohibition of Writing on Graves, First: This is not writing; it is merely numbers.

Second: It is not on the grave itself, but on the side, or on the wall, where there can be a distance between it and the grave.

Third: The prohibition of writing refers to writing that involves glorification and exaltation of this deceased person.As they used to do in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, as evidenced by: It was prohibited to plaster the grave, to write on it, and to sit on it, thus combining exaltation with insult. Therefore, the writing that is prohibited is: writing intended to exalt and glorify this deceased person. However, writing intended solely for announcement is permissible.
And with this, this meeting ends.
