Question:
The hadiths regarding covering vessels: Does this include empty vessels, or is the intention full ones?
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the hadith is general, so one should either place a stick on it or turn it upside down, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: so that its owner may be protected.
Q: Does this include pitchers and cups?
A: The apparent ruling applies to every vessel. One should turn the pitcher upside down, and the cup likewise, and praise be to Allah. As for the large jar... one should place something on it, even if it is just laying a stick across it, or turning it upside down, or covering it with a lid. This is the safest course of action in implementing the hadith.
