Question:
The questioner asks: How do you reconcile the prohibition against building mosques on graves with what is mentioned in the words of the Exalted in Surat al-Kahf:[Al-Kahf 18:21]
Answer:
My brother, the answer is in the verse itself:[Al-Kahf 18:21] They overpowered their affair; they did not consult the people of good or the people of [knowledge]; they only took their own opinion and their leadership and their strength. So His saying, “They overpowered their affair,” is a rebuke from Allah upon them. Yes.
