The ruling on building a house next to a cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a questioner via the network from Algeria. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a man built a house in a place where only one wall separates it from this cemetery, namely the wall of the house. It is known that the qiblah faces the cemetery, and if he passes by, he must walk over the graves. So, is his prayer in that state valid?
Answer:
He must separate the graves; there should be nothing of them in his house, and he should not leave a wall open between him and the cemetery. He should make a second wall, another wall, separating his house from the wall of the cemetery, and there should be a passage or a road or a small path between them. Yes, it should not be attached to the cemetery. Yes.
