Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a mosque in the corner of one of the cemeteries, and there are no graves in this mosque, and there is no place nearby in the same neighborhood to build another mosque, so is this mosque to be demolished, or what is to be done with it?

Answer:
If this is in the Kingdom, meaning in our country, a report is written about it for a fatwa, and it is looked into. But if it is outside the Kingdom, we have no concern with mosques outside the Kingdom. However, do not pray in it as long as it is connected to the cemetery and built upon it; do not pray in it. Yes.
