Flowers on Graves: Permissible or Not?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible to place flowers on graves?

Bismillaah

A: Flowers should not be placed on graves. Placing flowers on graves is an unestablished practice in Deen. Hence this practice should be omitted.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، قالت : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد (مشكاة # 140)

فترى العامة يلقون الزهور على القبور، لا أصل لها في الدين ولا مستند لها من الكتاب والسنة (معارف السنن 1/ 265)
