Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you, and some of them say it is permissible to build mosques over graves, citing the words of the Exalted in Surat al-Kahf:[Al-Kahf 18:21] So what is the answer to this?
Answer:
My brother, the answer is in the verse itself. It says:[Al-Kahf 18:21] They overcame the rulers, and no one could stand against them. [Al-Kahf 18:21] So the verse contains a refutation of this claim, indicating that this is not the statement of the scholars, but rather the statement of the rulers and the people of power. Yes.
He says, may Allah preserve you, and some of them say it is permissible to build mosques over graves, citing the words of the Exalted in Surat al-Kahf:
We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًاAnswer:
My brother, the answer is in the verse itself. It says:
those who prevailed in the matter
الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْSaid those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًا
