Question:
What is the ruling on planting trees on graves?
Answer:
Planting trees on graves is a religious innovation (bid'ah). This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not plant them on graves. He only planted on two graves that Allah revealed to him were being tortured: one was a talebearer, and the other did not conceal himself from urination. So he cut... a palm frond and said:Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1:59, and he did not do this at the graves of the Muslims in al-Baqi', nor at the graves of the people of Makkah, nor anywhere else... So this is not prescribed, and it is a religious innovation (bid'ah).
