Prayer Inside the Walls of a Cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A group of people prayed the 'Asr prayer inside the walls of a cemetery, and a disagreement arose among them. Some said the prayer is valid because they did not face the graves, while others said it is invalid. What is the ruling on their prayer? And Your Excellency
Answer:
Yes, it must be repeated, because prayer is not permissible at the graves, even if they are not in front of them, because they prayed in the cemetery inside the walls, so they are at the graves. They prayed at the graves, whether the graves were in front of them or not.
