Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I am a young man studying at a university outside the area where I live. There is a mosque near my residence there that is built next to a grave, and this mosque is named after the person buried in the grave. Is it permissible to pray in this mosque or not?
Answer:
The answer is similar to what was mentioned recently. If the mosque is built on the grave, do not pray in it; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves and forbade building on graves. The prohibition implies invalidity, so do not pray in it. Yes.
