The Ruling on Building over Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that building on graves is one of the practices of the Jews and the Christians. Does this mean that it is part of the laws that Allah revealed to them during their time?
Answer:
No, they are the ones who introduced it. This is among the innovations of the Jews and the Christians. Allah did not prescribe building on graves; He did not prescribe building on graves in any of the religions. Rather, they are the ones who introduced it when they exaggerated in their reverence for their prophets. They took their prophets... They took the graves of their prophets as mosques. Yes.
