Question:
The questioner, Aarif Far' al-Tawil from Yemen, says: We have a small mosque in the countryside, and we want to expand it. In the area designated for the expansion, there are graves. Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you. Is it permissible to move the graves to another location?
Answer:
Yes, the graves are moved to the cemetery or to another location, and prayer is performed in their place, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He moved the graves that were in his mosque in Madinah and made their place part of the mosque. Yes.
