Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: There is a mosque in our country that is adjacent to a cemetery, and there is only a wall between them. He asks: Is it permissible to pray in this mosque?
Answer:
If there is a barrier between the cemetery and the mosque, such as a road or a room, then it is not permissible to pray in it. If the wall of the mosque is directly on the cemetery, then it is not permissible to pray in it. If there is a barrier between them, such as a stretch of land or a road, then there is no harm, because it is separated and far from it. Yes.
