Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. We have a mosque and a cemetery, and what separates the mosque from the cemetery is a single wall. Please note that the one praying in this mosque is right next to the wall, so there is only one meter between him and the cemetery. What is the ruling on praying in this mosque? The cemetery is connected.
Answer:
The mosque is between the wall; this is connected. It is not permissible to pray in this mosque. It would only be permissible if the cemetery were separated from the mosque, separated by a street or an open area of land. In that case, it is permissible to pray in the mosque because it is isolated from the cemetery. But if it is a single wall, that is a connection, and it is not permissible. Yes.
