The ruling on praying in a mosque within the walls of a cemetery

Question:
May Allah reward you. Jumu'ah Hasan asks about the ruling on praying in a mosque located within the walls of a cemetery?

Answer:
It is not permissible to pray inside a cemetery, whether in a mosque or elsewhere, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves and forbade making them into mosques, and he cursed whoever did so, because this is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). Prayer is to be performed in mosques, or outside the graves, or outside the cemeteries, except for the funeral prayer. The funeral prayer is valid in the cemetery before burial, or over the grave; there is no harm in that. Yes.
