How it is right to these two misconception?

Question

from pakistan, some people give money to the people who are going to Hajj and Umrah that it should be spent on food(grain) of peogon of Masjid-e-Nabvi(SAW). and some asked for washing a cloth with Abe Zam Zam and bring back it for the use of their Coffin.

how it is right?

Answer 1

there is no such thing approved from Quran so this is sort of non islamic things.

Answer 2

For those who cannot afford to travel to the Masjid feel their contributions for the pigeons' seeds is he least they can do and feel elated.  The same way they want their bodies wrapped in a piece of cloth (Kafan) which was washed in the Holy Abe Zam Zam and some even pour the holy water  in the open grave of their loved ones before the body is let down in the grave.  

Answer 3

umm not sure, but i know my grandad was buried in his Hajj Ihram.  

Answer 4

feeding the pigeon ,has no base in sunnah.

it was not the practice of sahaba either

so we should avoid doing that,

it also creating problem,b coz people spread it on the floor .

it bcomes a problem for the people who walk on that floor,

some times that grains tend to come under ones feet,and this is wasting of  food.

Answer 5

This is not a belief in Islam as a religion but its just people's love for those places. Many people cannot afford going there so they ask others to feed peigons of Madina or Makkah, just for their own satisfaction of feeding the birds of Madina. but this is no ruling in Islam and I belief there is nothing wrong in doing so, its just the affection and love with those cities. they are indeed the most important cities for Muslims.~!

Answer 6

Some of our relatives got their coffins from Makkah but that has lots of Qur'anic ayahs written on them in colour of majanta thats I think saffron!

Don't really know if right or wrong!
