What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that has a shrine separated from the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: There is a mosque in our neighborhood, and behind it there is a grave that is visited and revered. However, this grave is separated from the mosque, and this is the nearest mosque. What is the ruling on praying in it?

Answer:
If the grave is separated from the mosque by a street or an open area of land, there is no harm in praying in this mosque, because it has no connection to the grave. If it is separated, meaning there is an open area of land between it and the grave, or a street between them where people walk, there is no harm in praying in the mosque, because there is no prohibition in it.
