The ruling on praying in a mosque that contains a grave and seeking aid from its occupant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh explained that a reciter named Khatib 'Imran, in some foreign lands, slightly rubs his chest and claims to be 'Isa (peace be upon him), and people weep before him, as I saw before. They claim he is Abu Husayn ibn 'Adi (may Allah be pleased with him), and he is in the vicinity of the mosque, and they recite the Qur'an before him. What is the ruling on this? Is there something greater than this?
Answer:
All of this is invalid. And if they hope for this grave, or ask from it, or seek aid from it, then this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). And it is not permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave; it is not permissible to pray in it, because it is not a mosque, but rather a shrine, called a shrine, not a mosque. Yes.
