Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on building a mosque at the edge of a cemetery, when no one has been buried in that section?

Answer:
It is not permissible to build mosques inside cemeteries. It is not permissible to build mosques inside cemeteries. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves. Because this is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). Someone may come who thinks that this mosque was not built in the cemetery except for the sake of. Except for the sake of seeking blessing from the dead. And asking them for their needs, so this becomes a means to shirk, to shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Mosques are kept away from graves; there should be a separator between them, either a street or open land, and they should not be connected to the graves, because this is one of the means of shirk. And this contradicts the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of praying at graves and making them into mosques. Yes.
