The Ruling on Praying in a Mosque Next to a Grave Separated by a Wall
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: In our town, there is a mosque with a grave next to it, separated by the mosque's wall, and there is an open passage from the mosque to the grave. Is the prayer in it valid?
The Shaykh:
It does not harm, it does not harm, there is no harm in it, as long as it is outside the mosque, it does not harm. But if they move it to the cemetery, that is better for them, to remove the doubt. If it is feasible to move it by the authority, by the committee, or by the prince, or by the court, the matter should be raised so that it is moved. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, if the separator is the mosque's wall.
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes, that is sufficient, yes. Yes. Yes.
