Question:
Placing roses on graves?
Answer:
It is reprehensible and not permissible; neither perfuming them nor placing roses on them.
Q: Placing a marker on a grave?
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with a marker. When Uthman ibn Maz'un passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) marked his grave so that he could visit it. If one marks it with a stone, wood, or something similar, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: Is writing on it prohibited?
The Shaykh: Writing on it is not permissible. One must not build on it, sit on it, or write on it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited all of this.
