Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
That he should mention al-Bukhari's statement (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what is disliked in prayer at graves. The Hafiz said here that this covers cases where the prayer is performed on the grave, toward the grave, or between two graves. Is this correct, O Shaykh? Yes. He says: The Hafiz stated that this covers cases where the prayer is performed on the grave, toward the grave, or between two graves, meaning as a commentary on al-Bukhari's statement (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what is disliked in prayer at graves.
The Shaykh:
One does not pray between graves, nor toward them. Yes.
