Q: In order for a person's janaazah salaah to be valid, does he have to join the saff, or can he read it individually behind the congregation?
If he stands behind, and there is a large gap in between him and the saffs, will it be valid?
Sometimes, the janaazah salaah takes place in the musjid which I know is not allowed, can I then join from the wudhu khana which will be quite a distance behind the rest of the congregation?

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:

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?
