Question:
Is it prescribed to distribute drinking water in graveyards, given that people are in need of it?
Answer:
What evidence is there for this? The thirsty person goes out, and praise be to Allah, the taps are open and the coolers are in the mosques and on the roads. If he is thirsty, he goes out and drinks, praise be to Allah. He does not bring a bottle to drink from, and it becomes such that he cannot bear it. As for distributing water, this leads to distributing lunch, distributing dinner, and distributing charity and dirhams at the graves. Do not open, my brothers, these doors. Do not be lenient with them, for the small leads to the great. Yes.
