The ruling on sprinkling rose water on the grave at burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I attended a funeral, and when the deceased was being buried, the family of the deceased were sprinkling the grave with rose water, which had the scent of roses, before it was covered with soil. Is this prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. It is sprinkled with water so that the soil does not fly about and become mixed. As for rose water, it is not permissible. This is negligence and a waste of money as well. Rose water is a valuable commodity, so wasting it is wrong.
