The Ruling on Praying in a Mosque That Contains a Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside the country says: What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that contains a grave, given that there is no mosque near us except this one?
Answer:
Do not pray in it if the grave is inside the mosque, or if the wall of the grave is attached to it. Do not pray in it, for the prayer in it is not valid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying at graves, as this is one of the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah).
