This person is asking about building a mosque next to a graveyard?

If the mosque is separated from the graveyard by a street or by open space between the mosque and the graveyard, there is no harm in that. However, if the mosque is adjacent to the graveyard or to a grave, this is not permissible because it is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
