Commentary
Putting an inscription on the grave containing the deceased person's name and lineage or words of praise for him, or writing the names of Allāh or His Messenger ﷺ, or Verses from the Qur'ān, all this is prohibited in Islam. Nevertheless, putting up some sort of a marker, like what the Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did when he put a stone on the grave of 'Uthmān bin Maẓūn, is permissible.
