The ruling on prostration of recitation in graveyards
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s question: Is it permissible to prostrate in recitation in graveyards?
Answer:
It is not permissible to perform the prostration of recitation in graveyards, nor the prostration of gratitude, nor a voluntary prayer. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking graves as mosques, meaning places of prayer. Also, if we permit the prostration of recitation in a graveyard, that becomes a means to permitting prayer there, so this is not permissible. The funeral prayer is an exception; the funeral prayer is exempted from the prohibition because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it in a graveyard, meaning it is exempted from the prohibition.
