The mosque that contains a grave inside it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The ninth question from the fatwa number ( 18891 )
Q 9: Whatis the ruling on a mosque that has a grave inside it? Please inform us. May Allah reward you a thousand times over.
A 9: If the mosque was the first to be built, and then the grave was placed inside it,
it is obligatory to dig up the grave and move it to the public cemetery. However, if the grave was the first to exist and then the mosque was built over it, it is obligatory to demolish the mosque; because this area was reserved for the owner of the grave. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
