The Ruling on Praying in a Mosque That Contains a Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes, when we travel abroad, we pray in some mosques, and it becomes clear to us after the prayer that there are graves in them. What is the ruling on praying in this case?
Answer:
Do you repeat the prayer? Do you repeat the prayer if it becomes clear to you that there is a grave in the mosque? The prayer is not valid, so you repeat it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves or toward them, because this is among the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah) (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
