Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying in a mosque where there is a grave in front of its mihrab, close to it, but outside the mosque?
Answer:
If it is separated from the mosque by a passageway or an open space of land, not attached to the mosque, then there is nothing wrong with praying in the mosque. However, if it is connected to the mosque from any direction, with no separation between them, then it is not permissible to pray in this mosque, because it is a mosque built over a grave. Yes.
