Guide to Building the Abbas Mosque on the Grave of Ibn Abbas

Question:
A questioner asks about the claim circulating among some people that the Abbas Mosque in Ta'if was built on the grave of Abdullah ibn Abbas. Is there any evidence for this?

Answer:
What is the Abbas Mosque? It is the mosque of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas, because Abdullah ibn al-Abbas passed away in Ta'if (may Allah be pleased with him) and was buried in Ta'if without a doubt. Initially, they built the Abbas Mosque next to the grave. Next to the grave. They placed curtains over it. I saw it. Then, when the mosque was demolished and rebuilt, they moved it away from the grave. Praise be to Allah, the grave is now in its eastern rear, and no one prays near it. Yes.
