The ruling on praying in a mosque near a cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In a town, they say. Patience, amber, noon, amber. They say there is a cemetery and a mosque in it, and they do not know which was built first. And the mosque, I mean, is separate from the cemetery? Is the prayer in it, I mean? Is the prayer near the grave?
The Shaykh:
I mean, they did not know which one is more senior. They did not know which one was first. You die on a grave. Except for what is on a grave, and he says it is separate from the cemetery, except that it is close to it, I mean. In the mosque, as long as it is not close to it, it does not harm.
The questioner:
I mean, it is not considered as prayer near the grave. Yes.
The Shaykh:
Out of necessity, but if there is a barrier between them, or a path to its qiblah, if there is a barrier between them or a road, that would be better.
