The ruling on praying in a mosque adjacent to graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father, he says: In our village, there is a small mosque, and next to it are a number of graves adjacent to the mosque. What is the ruling on praying in it? These graves are not in the direction of the qiblah, but they are on the left side of the worshippers?
Answer:
If this mosque is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you must write to the Ifta department regarding the reality of the cemetery. The Ifta department requests a correct report from a committee that provides the facts, and then it issues a ruling on them. You act according to the ruling. But if this is outside the Kingdom, you ask the scholars of that country, because we have no authority over other countries. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
