Sprinkling water on the soil of the grave after burial
Q: From the Ahaadith and the statements of the Fuqahaa (jurists), it is understood that after burial, sprinkling water on the soil of the grave is Mustahab (recommended) and permissible. The question is:
Will it be considered Mustahab and permissible to sprinkle water merely for the purpose of settling the soil?
If it is the rainy season and there is no fear of the soil scattering, then at such a time, will it still be permissible and Mustahab to sprinkle water with the intention of acting upon the Hadith?
