Salaam,

I just wanted to find out if it is wrong for a Muslim to have and engraved tombstone at the koebus? Because my uncle and I have started our own burial service called jamatul nur and we have and costumer wanting a granite tombstone for a still born baby and I have asked lots of Imams and they said its haraam but if we die as Muslims put the wood on the grave but after a few years the name fades away but its basically the same as a tombstone, I am puzzled and I need answers asap as we are getting a lot of members who are joining and we want to be sure of doing it the right Muslim way.

Regards,

Ayesha
