Question:
Is it permissible to place a marker on a grave to identify it as a path?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with placing a marker on a grave, such as a specific stone, a bone, a stick, or something similar, as a marker. It is narrated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) marked the grave of Uthman ibn Maz'un.
So the conclusion: There is nothing wrong with a marker that identifies it, not for the purpose of veneration, but as a marker: either a specific stone, a specific brick, a specific piece of iron, or something similar; so that the grave is identified by it.
Question : And writing?
Answer: No, no writing.
