The questioner:
The questioner says: Some usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence) scholars say that the prohibition of praying at graves applies only to the location and not to the prayer itself, so the prayer is valid despite the sin. Is what they mentioned correct?
The Shaykh:
No, no, it is not correct, and we do not know the usul al-fiqh scholars who said this. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Yes.
The Shaykh:
It necessitates invalidity; the prohibition necessitates the invalidity of the prohibited thing. Yes.
