The Ruling on Writing on Graves and Building on Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the Sharia-compliant grave in Islam? Is it permissible for a grave to be raised above the ground? Or for marble plaques to be placed on it? Or for sitting rooms to be attached to it for sitting at the grave?
Answer:
The explanation of the Sharia-compliant grave has already been provided. It is not permissible to place plaques with writing on them on the grave, nor to write on it; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade writing on graves, whether on plaques or otherwise. He also forbade building on them and plastering them. They should not be plastered, nor built upon, nor should plaques or writings be placed on them.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
