Is placing needs and trusts on the graves of the righteous permissible, and is it true that the dead undertake their guardianship?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Believing that the dead guard what is placed on their graves as trusts is disbelief (kufr) and shirk (associating partners with Allah) in Lordship (Rububiyyah), and necessitates eternal damnation in Hellfire for whoever dies upon it. Placing trusts or belongings on graves for safekeeping or blessings is impermissible.
