The ruling on praying in a mosque that contains graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling if I am in a country where most, or the majority, of the mosques contain graves, and I cannot find a mosque other than that? Is it permissible for me to pray in it, or should I pray at home?

Answer:
Or at home. He said: If you have any of the monotheistic brothers with you, a group, turn it into a mosque for you, turn it into a mosque for you, and pray in it. Or you set up a house and pray in it. It is not permissible for you to pray in a place like this. If any of the monotheists is living there, let him pray in a mosque or in his house. In a mosque that is not dedicated to him, or in his house, designate it for that. If you are afraid of them, let him pray in his house. If you are not afraid, if you build a mosque, build a mosque dedicated to you.
