Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In our country, when a deceased person is buried, people sprinkle water on the graves adjacent to this new grave as a gesture of neighborliness. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Do not sprinkle the graves; only the grave of the one who was buried is sprinkled, so that its dust does not fly up. Yes.
