The Ruling on Endowing Drinking Water for Graveyards?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on endowing sanitary water for graveyards? Not for the graves themselves, but for those who handle the burial in the graveyard, with the intention of seeking reward and merit?

Answer:
The water near the graveyard is sufficient; one can go out and drink from it. There is no need to establish endowments within the graveyards. Yes, this door should not be opened. The water is close to the graveyard; one can go out and drink. Yes.
