Question:
What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that has a grave in it, but there is a wall separating them?
Answer:
A wall is sufficient if there is a market, a road, or open land between them; in that case, the mosque has no connection to the grave, and you may pray in the mosque. However, if the only thing between the grave and the mosque is the wall, the prayer in this mosque is invalid. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves. The prohibition implies invalidity, because this is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
