What is the ruling on distributing water in graveyards to seek reward and to quench the thirst of people?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is free distribution of water in the graveyards. The apparent purpose of this action is to seek reward and to quench the thirst of people. Is there anything wrong with this action?

Answer:
By Allah, this is a principle that is not good. This is a principle that is not good. The Muslims used to bury their dead in the heat of the sun, even if it was mentioned that water would be brought for them. I fear that this opens a door where it will be said that bringing water and food to this place has a special merit, and that eating food at the graves and giving charity at the graves becomes an act of worship at the grave. This is not permissible, and this door should not be opened. The one who is thirsty should go; it is not necessary for him to sit there. He should go and drink from his home or from the mosque; it is not necessary for him to sit there. Yes.
