Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is there a difference between a mosque being built first and then someone being buried in it, and a grave being the first thing?

Answer:
The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned that if the mosque is the first and the deceased is buried in it, then the deceased is exhumed and buried with the graves. As for if the grave is the first and the mosque is built over it later, then the mosque is demolished. Yes.
