Sprinkling the grave with water after burial

Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
There is nothing wrong with sprinkling water, because water holds the earth together so it will not be scattered right and left.
With regard to what the common folk believe, that sprinkling water cools down the deceased, there is no basis for this. End quote.
