Asalaamu Alaykum,

Anyone heard anything like this before? My cousins went to perform ziyarah of my grandfather's grave and they planted an olive tree next to it, saying that it will provide shade for him. Is there any reference of this is the Qur'an or Ahadeeth?

JazakumAllahu Khairan.

I don't know about this, but I always wondered if by planting a tree over the grave, you could have a nice sort of marker without it being considered "building" over the grave.
