Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I used to pray in a mosque containing a grave for a period of ten years, so what is the ruling on my prayer during this period?
Answer:
Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills, because the prohibition of this was not made clear to you, so your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. But after it becomes clear, do not pray in it. Yes, may Allah reward you. It has ended. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
