What is the ruling on giving a sermon in the cemetery, and what is the ruling on distributing cold water to the funeral procession in the cemeteries?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on giving a sermon in the cemetery? And what is the ruling on distributing cold water to the funeral procession in the cemeteries?

Answer:
If it is hot and people need water, there is nothing wrong with that. People need this in the heat of summer, so there is nothing wrong with the water.
As for the sermon at the grave, this is not prescribed except when there is a need. For example, if the grave has not been prepared and they are sitting waiting for the digging to be finished, there is nothing wrong with a student of knowledge reminding the people, reminding those sitting around him.
As for delivering a sermon and standing on a raised platform, this is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and making it a regular habit, always doing this, all of this is a religious innovation. Yes. May Allah reward you with good. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
