Question:
This questioner says: A questioner from outside this country says: We have a shaykh, and one day we were in the cemetery, and the time for the 'Asr prayer came. He stood up, called the adhan, and prayed the 'Asr prayer inside the cemetery. He asks: Is there scholarly disagreement on this issue? And did he do it...
Answer:
In this issue, he is either ignorant or misguided. One does not pray in a cemetery except for the funeral prayer only. Alert him and tell him that he has erred. And repeat the prayer as well. Yes.
