The ruling on praying in a mosque that contains a grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I heard one of them say that it is permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave, and he argues that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to pray in her chamber where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried.

Answer:
My brother, Aisha was praying in her house; this is her house, and she was praying in it before, and it is her house. Where would she go to come out of her house? She was living in it, residing in her house, and she did not leave it. That means, if she wanted to pray, she would come out of it. But if she were living outside, outside the chamber, and came to pray in it, then that would be the prohibited matter. But since this is her house, she is praying in her house. Yes.
