٭ It is permissible to place Shajarah or Ahd-Naamah in the grave.

In fact, it is stated permissible in Durr-e-Mukhtar to write Ahd-Naamah on the shroud and it is stated that one can hope for forgiveness by doing so. It is permissible to write بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ on the chest and forehead of the deceased. It can be done like this as well: Write بِسمِ اﷲ on the forehead and Kalimah Tayyibah لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہِ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  on the chest. However, write these with the index finger after giving Ghusl and before shrouding; do not write these with ink. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 848)

٭ If the bones of the deceased appear out from the grave, it is Wajib [compulsory] to bury them. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 9, pp. 406)
