Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave? And is there a difference between the grave being in the direction of the mosque's qiblah or not?
Answer:
One does not pray in a mosque that contains a grave. Nor is the prayer valid in it; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves or toward them, and forbade making graves into mosques, meaning places of prayer. So if the grave is connected to the mosque in any of its directions, it is built upon a grave, and one does not pray in it.
