Placing
two stones on the grave of men and one stone on the grave
of women
*Please appropriately reference

Question:
What is your opinion regarding placing two stones on the grave
of men and one stone on the grave of women - is this differentiation
legislated?
Response:
This differentiation is not legislated. The scholars have
said there is no harm in placing one or two stones or one
or two bricks in order to indicate the (presence of a) grave
so that it is not redug a second time. As regards differentiating
between the men and women, then there is no (legislated) basis
for this.
