The ruling on praying in a mosque that has a grave behind the qiblah wall

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that has one grave behind the qiblah wall, but inside the enclosure?

Answer:
No, if it is connected to the mosque, whether from the back, the front, or the side, if it is connected to the mosque, then it is not permissible to pray in this mosque. But if there is a separation between the grave or graves and the mosque, such as a road or open space, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
