Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner from outside the country says: We have a school that contains graves. Is it permissible for us to pray in this school when the time for prayer arrives?

Answer:
No, pray in a mosque. If you have a mosque around you, pray in a mosque; otherwise, pray in a place free of graves. Yes.
