Prayer and the Sermon in Mosques That Contain a Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In my village, there are many mosques that contain a grave, and I have not been able to call them to the truth except by delivering the Friday sermon in them and praying in them. What should I do?
Answer:
One does not pray in a mosque that contains a grave. If the mosque existed before the grave, the grave must be removed from the mosque. If the grave existed before the mosque, the mosque must be demolished and rebuilt in a place where there is no grave. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying toward graves or praying at graves, because this is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah) (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah forgive you.
