The ruling on placing gravel on the grave and sprinkling it with water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on placing gravel on the grave and sprinkling it with water?
A: This is recommended if it is feasible; because it settles the soil and preserves it. It is narrated that a flat area was placed on the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is also recommended to sprinkle it with water so that the soil settles and the grave remains distinct and known, so that it is not desecrated.
