Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

The homage paid to a dead person by a garland or a bouquet has no basis in the eyes of the Shari'ah. There is no evidence as to why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), his Companions, the Tabi'een or the corpse of a Buzurg have such respect. If it was of any use to the deceased, then the Prophet and the Buzurgans would have instructed it. Since it does not exist in the Shari'ah, it is therefore abandoned. This is the best and only way to pay homage to the deceased by asking for forgiveness, recitation and supplication, and attending his grave. 1627598223
