The Ruling on Praying in the Mosque of Ibn Abbas in al-Ta'if
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have observed that there are graves in front of the qiblah of the Mosque of Ibn Abbas in al-Ta'if, separated from the mosque by a six-meter walkway, and there are graves at the rear of the mosque, separated by a street. It is also said that the grave of Ibn Abbas is now inside the mosque. What is the ruling on praying in it?
Answer:
The claim that the grave of Ibn 'Abbas is inside the mosque is a lie. It is not inside the mosque. The grave of Ibn 'Abbas is in a separate, walled cemetery, and the mosque is separated from the cemeteries on all sides. Therefore, there is no harm in praying in it, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
