Cutting down trees growing on graves

Q 1: Is it permissible to cut down trees growing on graves or we should better leave them as they are? (Part No. 7; Page No. 353


A 1: There is no harm in cutting down trees growing on graves provided that the sanctity of the graves is preserved and no acts of debasement, works of digging or stepping on them are undertaken. The trees growing on graves must be cut down if it is feared that they will be used as objects of blessings and veneration, or if keeping them will cause damage to the graves or pose harm to those who come to visit their dead and supplicate for them. Heavy trees may also harbor harmful insects and venomous snakes, and so it is better to cut them down.May Allah grant you success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
