Ruling on distributing drinking water in the cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q554: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on distributing bottles of drinking water inside the cemetery, especially during intense heat? Is there a reward for doing so? Some people say that it is not prescribed.
A554: This is an innovation with no basis in the past. They did not carry water with the funeral to distribute it at the grave. We do not open this door, as this falls under giving charity at the grave and worshipping at the grave. This door should be closed. Whoever feels thirsty should go out and drink.
