Prayer in mosques that contain graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There are graves in some mosques in certain countries. Does one pray in them, or does one pray in another mosque?
The Shaykh:
No, one does not pray in a mosque with graves in it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the Jews who took the graves of their prophets as mosques. May Allah protect us from that.
The questioner:
Even if it is the only mosque.
The Shaykh:
The one who does not pray in a house, he prays in a mosque, he prays in a house, all of it is in another mosque, the compensation, and the one who builds another mosque, and the one who walks to the grave, they take a new place for the grave, and if the mosque is built on it and his first grave, the mosque is demolished, and another mosque is built, but if his new grave enters the mosque, he walks and moves it to the cemeteries,
The questioner:
If he prayed, he repeats it.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the partnership is invalid, yes.
The questioner:
We repeat the prayer.
The Shaykh:
If he prayed near graves, a prayer for blessing. Yes.
