Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying in a mosque that contains a grave, but this grave is not in the direction of the qiblah? Does the prayer become invalid, or is it accepted despite the sin?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to pray in a mosque built on a grave that is connected to it, whether from the back, the front, or the side, as long as the grave is connected to the mosque, it is not permissible in any direction of it. However, if the grave is separated from the mosque by a street or an open space, there is no harm in that, because the grave is separate and far from the mosque. Yes.
