The ruling on bringing water to the cemetery for people to drink
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who brings water to the cemetery for people to drink, especially in the summer season? Is this action of his correct? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh:
This is an unnecessary burden. This unnecessary burden opens a door for people to impose burdens on themselves and opens the door for people. This was not known or customary from the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until our time. They did not carry water with them when burying the dead. They did not carry water with them. The burial does not take a long time and does not require stocking up on water. Whoever gets thirsty goes out and drinks from the top of the cemetery, from the coolers, or from the mosques. Yes.
The questioner:
You have done well.
The Shaykh:
We do not burden people. We do not burden people with this thing, and then they expand on it. Perhaps they start bringing food, bringing lunch and dinner to the cemetery. If we open the door for them, they will expand in this. We do not open a closed door. Yes.
