When we visit the graves of our relatives or those of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), is it permissible to place flowers on the graves for the purpose of showing love? Are there any traditions about such acts?
We do not have any Hadeeth or narration or practice of Ulama to place flowers on the grave. It is a habit from non Muslims. It can be waste of money. The deceased will get no benefit from it. It is good to pay the cost of the flowers to poor and needy on behalf of the deceased.
Wassalam.
