The ruling on praying in a mosque in which a grave has been buried
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 178: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that contains a grave?
A 178: Prayer is not valid in a mosque that contains a grave; this is due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from making graves into mosques, and his prohibition of praying at graves or facing them; because this is one of the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), and the prohibition implies invalidity according to the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence), so it is not permissible to pray at graves, or in mosques that contain graves.
