Is it permissible to pray in a mosque that has a grave in front of it, separated from it by a wall?

Question:
Praying in a mosque surrounded by graves, where there is a door from the mosque to the dome containing a number of graves, and some of the worshippers, when they finish praying, enter to greet the graves and seek blessing from them. We ask you about this, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the mosque is neglected and the grave is old, and the land is not part of the cemetery land, then the presence of graves around it is not a problem. If the mosque land is not from the cemetery, and it did not enter from the cemetery, and it was not built on the graves, and there are no graves in it, then there is nothing wrong with praying in it. And if they leave the mosque and greet the graves, there is nothing wrong with that. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . As for seeking blessing from them, it is not permissible. Seeking blessing from their soil, or prostrating to them, or praying near them, or reciting near them, this is not permissible. As for the greeting, saying "Peace be upon you, abode of our people, and indeed we, if Allah wills, will be joining you. We ask Allah for your well-being. May Allah forgive us and you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come after." This is all permissible, and it is what Allah has prescribed, whether the grave is near or far. Al-Baqi' was close to the Prophet's mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Muslims would go to al-Baqi' and greet the dead there, and it was close to the Prophet's mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), to the east, on the eastern side, from the eastern direction.
The blameworthy thing is to build a mosque on a grave or on graves, or to place graves in it. As for the mosque being close to the graves, but not part of them and not on their land, that does not harm. But one must be cautious of exaggeration regarding graves by praying near them, or seeking blessing from them, or calling upon them, or seeking aid from their people, or making them a place for recitation, or the like of this; that is the blameworthy thing. As for greeting them, making du'a for them, and leaving, this is a prescribed matter that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did and commanded (peace and blessings be upon him). And visiting them reminds one of death and the Hereafter. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would teach his Companions (peace and blessings be upon him) when they visited graves to say: . Another hadith: he would say, "Peace be upon you, abode of a people of faith, and indeed we, if Allah wills, will be joining you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come after. O Allah, forgive us the people of al-Baqi'. " He would do this (peace and blessings be upon him) and teach his Companions. Yes.
