Question:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Honorable Shaykh, if the time for prayer is running out and the time is lost, and a person cannot enter any mosque other than this one which was built over this grave, especially if the person is a stranger in this town.
Answer:
The ruling is that he does not pray in it, because his prayer is not valid, so he does not pray in it. But he should pray in another place; he should look for another place, and the earth is vast, praise be to Allah.
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَAnswer:
The ruling is that he does not pray in it, because his prayer is not valid, so he does not pray in it. But he should pray in another place; he should look for another place, and the earth is vast, praise be to Allah.
