Removing a plant from the grave
Question
I recently read on one of the answers that it is incorrect to plant trees on the grave. Is it permissible then to remove these plants from the grave?
Answer
If one had planted a plant on the grave, then he should remove it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
