Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, the second question? The second question is about a mosque with a cemetery in front of it. That is, it is adjacent to the mihrab, with about two meters between it and the mihrab. Are you asking about? About whether it is permissible or not for the mosque to remain?

Answer:
As for a mosque that has a cemetery next to it, if the cemetery is separated from the mosque by a road or by open land with a distance between them, then that has no effect, and the mosque is a valid mosque in which one prays, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
