Ruling on praying in a mosque with a grave in front of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q182: The questioner: A.S., an Egyptian resident in Riyadh, says in his question: If there is a cemetery in the direction of the mosque's mihrab, and this cemetery is walled in, what is the ruling on praying in this mosque?
A182: If the mosque is separated from the cemetery by a road,
or by open land, and is not connected to the cemetery's wall, then there is nothing wrong with that. However, if the mosque's wall is next to the cemetery, with no separation between them, then it is not permissible to pray in this mosque; because it is built on the graves, and it is not permissible to pray toward the graves.
